BESAR 1 BESAR 2

Nengah Ngetis has never been married, she lives with her nephew; Komang Selamet (M/38 year old) who suffers from epilepsy that can relapse anytime – it’s unpredictable, sometimes it occurs 3-5 times a day, but sometimes it doesn’t for a whole week. Within 1 month, on average it occurs 20-25 times, which is why they sleep together, so she knows when her nephew relapses right away. “I’ve become this thin from taking care of my nephew, because I have to stay up all night if he relapses,” she said.

Source of income:

  • Nengah Ngetis and her nephew work as a snake fruit farmer. They don’t have a permanent income. They only have an income when it’s time to harvest snake fruit. “To eat daily, I’ll owe rice at a small shop (warung), and I’ll pay it back once I receive money after harvesting period, or after I sell a cow,” she explained.
  • They take care of 2 cows that are owned by their neighbor.
  • They have not received aid from the government in the form of rice for poor family.
