ATENSI from MoSA to One Family Lives in a Hut

Toli-Toli (July 25, 2022) - MoSA through Nipotowe Center Palu responded to the case of a family living in a hut with 10 children after being evicted by residents in Toli-Toli Regency. At first, Saprudin's family lived in Timbolo Village, but because his son was accused of stealing, Saprudin and his family were evicted until their house was damaged by residents. Now Saprudin and his family live in a hut with an area of ​​four square meters on land owned by his father-in-law.

As directed by the Minister of Social Affairs, Nipotowe Center Rapid Response Team departed from Palu at two in the morning for Toli-Toli. The trip to Toli-Toli takes about 12 hours and it takes about 4 hours to get to the location. During a total of 16 hours of travel, the Center team was quite intense in coordinating with assistants, village heads, and community leaders to ensure the condition of Saprudin's family.

Arriving at the location, the Center team immediately visited Saprudin's residence in the middle of the garden. Using the sago palm midrib, not all of Saprudin's children wore clothes. Saprudin admitted that they only had a few pairs of clothes.

"We only have a few clothes, so whoever gets up first and takes a shower, he's the one wearing the clothes," said Saprudin when the Center team conducted an assessment.

The Center team tried to mediate with Saprudin's family, Timbolo village officials, community leaders, bhabinkamtibmas (community police officers) to resolve Saprudin's problems. In addition, the Center team also advocated for the Toli-Toli District Social Office, Timbolo Village, and Binontoan Village. As a result, the Binontoan Village is committed to providing land for the location of their homes and arranging their SKPT (Land Registration Certificate). In addition, the Head of the Binontoan Village has also prepared a Posyandu (Integrated Health Service Post) as a temporary residence for the Saprudin family.

"I will facilitate the Saprudin family for the location to build a house, later I will also arrange the SKPT. For the time being, they can live in the Village Posyandu building," said Taufik Hidayat, Head of Binontoan Village.

Ismadi, the Head of Timbolo Village is also committed to mobilizing residents to help build houses and facilitate home lighting.
