Background

The biggest scavengers’ community is in the Final Waste Disposal site at Bantar Gebang, Bekasi.

Lately the people of Bantar Gebang Final Waste Disposal realize that how important education is and how they can raise up from their recent jobs to other valuable occupation in the middle of tones of waste.

Meanwhile, majority of the people in Bantar Gebang purchased gas 3 kg to power its gas ranges. Although this is a cost that many people in the developed world could afford, a family in Bantar Gebang that used more than one tank per month could not likely pay for the fuel to cook its food. Some of them might be forced to supplement their gas with firewood. Such a practice was also harmful in the short-term, as the firewood was burned in the kitchen and often ignited with plastics and rubbers, which when burned give off carcinogenic dioxins. By providing biogas, we encourage them to leave conservative energy and change into biogas as an alternative energy which more efficient, effective, safe and clean. Further, the needs of electricity power to support their daily living also become a problem due to their low income. As a result, the people in Bantar Gebang were torn between financial, environmental, and health concerns.
