\"BESAR\"<\/p>\n

Mangku Taman lives alone, he have never been married. He\u2019s often sick: short of breath; high blood pressure etc.<\/p>\n

Source of Income: he usually gather firewood to be sell to his neighbours, which is not generating much income. He has been receiving \u201crice for the poor (Raskin)\u201d program from the government, about 15 kgs every 3-4 months at a price of Rp 24.000.<\/p>\n

His house located in the middle of the farm, on top of the hill. It feels like going inside the woods to reach his house. The access to get there, about 2.6 kms, consists of narrow road that only fit one car. It makes it hard if another car coming from the other direction. Also, to reach his house, we need to walk 300 meters along the farm.<\/p>\n

His house condition is quite bad, the back part of the wall has broken-down.<\/p>\n
