Neighbors Who Know Each Other Rarely Need Help From Afar.
Since 2014, Simpul Warga has looked after four simple things: residents' health, education, environment, and economy — run by residents, for residents, without waiting for programs to arrive from outside.

Micro Cooperative & Small Business Training
Micro savings and loans without crushing interest, plus marketing training for vendors and home-based businesses.
Four Turning Points in Our Journey
Born From a Neighborhood Savings Circle
It started when part of the neighborhood savings circle funds was set aside for a shared health fund.
Officially Incorporated
Registered as a community organization so we could receive aid and partner formally with the village government.
First Waste Bank Opens
The environment program was born from residents' concern over garbage piling up in the drainage channels.
Reaching 35 Neighborhoods
From a single neighborhood unit, our programs now run regularly in 35 neighborhoods across the district.
What Residents Write to Us
Since the free monthly health checks began, I keep up with my blood pressure checks without having to travel all the way to the health center.
The waste bank finally got residents sorting their own trash, because the results turn straight into funds for the RT.
The volunteer is so patient teaching me math, and my test scores have gone up since I joined the afternoon class at the reading corner.
My shop's working capital loan came through quickly without crushing interest, a world away from the loan sharks who used to come around.
