Besides, there is chicken, pig, catfish farming, all of them is in the same environment," said Joko Widodo.

The housing is built with the concept of a productive healthy house, a place to live as well as a place to do business. This is indicated by the presence of a chicken coop with a capacity of 2,500 laying hens, a pig pen for 100 brooders, 9 catfish farming ponds equipped with pumps and water channels for pond circulation, and drainage channels in each cage and the creation of a kitchen/cooking place for feeding cattle.

This development is a manifestation of the government's presence through the Ministry of Social Affairs that the management is handed over to the Papua Alom Tujuh Enam Cooperation.

The Ministry of Social Affairs also facilitates residential lighting with 76 solar cell units installed in each house. For water sources, 10 units of drilled wells are also prepared to meet the needs of clean water.

"Mama Risma really cares, we are facilitated by a decent house to live in. Maybe we are the first in Indonesia, everything is complete, type 36 house, 2 bedrooms, garage. front room, living room, toilet inside. Left and right, 3 meters of land left. I thank the President for facilitating the Minister of Social Affairs to continue this activity," said Desman Kogoya.

He hopes that in the future the President can also build schools, because children have to travel 4 km to school. Desman also wants a polyclinic to be built near the health house.

In response to this, Social Minister Risma will build a Community Center as a place to learn with children.

"Later, there will be a Community Center which is made for children's learning. They can use this and don't need to have their own TV, they can watch together here, rather not individually. Then they can learn. We will give them computers so they can learn computers," said Social Minister Risma.
