Sang Nyoman Bakta never married, living alone hitchhiking in the kitchen of his nephew who works and lives in Denpasar. His condition is quite apprehensive; he deformed (polio) from birth, his right hand is disabled, the size of his right hand and foot is smaller than the size of his left hand and foot. Later, the thighs of his right foot were cracked by falling.

Source of income:

  • Since falling (his legs cracked) he cannot work anymore, even walking is already difficult. For a daily meal he begs to his relatives or neighbors.
  • Sang Nyoman Bakta gets the help of rice-for-the-poor (Raskin) from the government as much as 30 kg per 2-3 months.

The condition of the house: the house that he lives now is the kitchen of his nephew who works and lives in Denpasar, he allowed to live there because his hut is not suitable for habitation.

  • Number of bedrooms: 1
  • Number of cots / bed: 1
  • Number of mattresses: none
  • Kitchen mixed with bed
  • Floor of cement
  • The walls of woven bamboo
  • Roof from asbestos
  • Electricity exists

  • Crutches 
  • Medical assistance for his cracked legs
