SPECIFICATION OF THE PROGRAMS/ EVENTS

1. Research on Poverty
Aim: - to receive data about the social, economic, educational, health status of a village and its potential. - to receive data about starving people in the Bandung area that have to be helped. - searching for information where to establish a "Warung Peduli" (see below) - searching for information in order to improve the nutritious standard of families - searching for information in order to develop an economic potential of a village

People Conducting Research:
- volunteers, 4-8 people per month

Schedule:
Minimal three times a month beginning with a pre - survey to receive the basic data about social, ecoomic, educational etc. conditions. The second step is the main survey and determination of those poor and starving people that need to be helped at once. The third step is a re-check survey shortly before the planned distribution.

Expenses:
- about Rp. 17.280.000,- / year

Detailed List of Expenses:
1. Pre-Survey transport
4 people x 1 day x Rp. 30.000,- .............................. = Rp 120.000,-
food etc. 4 people x 1 day x Rp. 30.000,- ............... = Rp. 120.000,-

2. Main Survey transport
8 people x 1 day x Rp. 30.000,- ............................... = Rp. 480.000,-
food etc. 8 poeple x 1 day x Rp. 30.000,- ................. = Rp. 480.000,-

3. Survey Re-Check
transport 4 people x 1 day x Rp. 30.000,- .................. = Rp. 120.000,-
food etc. 4 people x 1 day x Rp. 30.000,-................... = Rp. 120.000,-

Expenses for survey each month ............................. =Rp. 1.440.000,-
Expenses during a year ............................................ =Rp.17.280.000,-

2. Providing of SemBaKo

The distribution of "sembako" shall take place every month with about 10 tons/per month.

Expenses:
Cheap rice of good quality is currently Rp. 2.500,-/kg (price on August 9, 1998). This price is expected to rise continously. We estimate a price of 5000,-/kg until July 1999, if the government continues to give subsidies for rice. Seen from that point of view, the needed amount of money for "sembako" is Rp. 450.000.000,-/ year.

3. Distribution of SemBaKo

(10 tons/per year in Bandung area)

People conducting the distribution:
- volunteers, about 20 people each month

Schedule:
- one or two time a month

Detailed Description of Expenses:

transportation 20 people x 1 day x Rp.30.000,- ........... = Rp. 600.000,-
food etc. 20 people x 1 day x Rp.30.000,- ................... = Rp. 600.000.-
Renting of six trucks à Rp. 300.000,- ............................= Rp. 1. 800.000,-
Packing of the rice /additional helpers ........................... = Rp. 500.000,-

Expenses per month .................................................. = Rp. 3. 500.000,-
Expenses per year ..................................................... = Rp. 42. 000.000,-

4. Warung Peduli
Basically the concept of "Warung Peduli" is a continuation of the distribution of "sembako". In this case there is no full support or donation. The amount of help will be adjusted to the ability of the people that ask for help. Nevertheless the final decision of the amount of help is taken by a survey team.

Classification of People Receiving Help Via the "Warung Peduli" Project
A. Poor people have to pay 75 % of the official market price
B. Very poor people have to pay 50 % of the market price
C. The poorest people have to pay 25 % of the market price.
Every three months there will be a new evaluation of the earlier classification, whether for example a family of group C may already be considered to belong to group B or opposite. In order to make "Warung Peduli" successful, a monthly control survey seems to be necessary.

Expenses:
We estimate about the same yearly expenses as for the distribution of "sembako".

5. The Improvement of the Nutrition Quality of the Families

This program is a further development of the "Warung Peduli" program, but "Bandung Peduli" admits not to have a clear picture of how the program may be conducted and what the expenses might be at the current time.
Basically, the program's aim is a higher independence or self-consciousness of a family. Each family should be urged to use its own land to grow vegetables to support the nutritious situation of the family. If the family raises vegetables etc. for themselves, then they can also save some money.
To support this project "Bandung Peduli" intends to support families with seeds via structure of the "Warung Peduli" project and according to the same categories.

Expenses:
Estimated:
Rp. 50.000.000,- /per month or 500.000.000,- for the 1998/99 period.

5. Development of the Economic Potential of the Villages

This project seems to be the most important and most ambitious of "Bandung Peduli". A first impression is normally already received by the various other projects and surveys, starting with the surveys in connection with the distribution of "sembako", the "Warung Peduli" activities and also the fourth program for the improvement of the nutritious situation of a family.
People who may join this program are these who are just free from the threat of poverty and those others that might be motivated to be more active. Basically the program is supposed to be a motor in creating an almost autonomous economy of the village.
The main idea is to support and even specify the potential one may discover in a village. "Bandung Peduli" tries to help improving production mechanisms, developing greater effciency and finally tries to help for better market distribution processes. Basic aid in establishing small businesses is intended as well (marketing, financial organisation, credits etc.). In this case "Bandung Peduli" intends to work together with other organisations like LSM and respective training organisations for society at the universities.

Expenses:
For a first step in this year in form of a pilot project we estimate Rp. 80.000.000,- per month whoch will amount to Rp. 800.000.000,- in the planning year 1998/99.

6. Campaign

The campaign of "Bandung Peduli" will focus on West Java only. It is hoped that in each town of West Java activities like "Bandung Peduli" may be initiated. Furtheron, it is intended to make a newsletter that will be published four times a year as a kind of report to the public about the activities of "Bandung Peduli". There will also be a small broschure about "Bandung Peduli" and documentational material.

Expenses:
1. Expenses for the campaign: Rp. 10.000.000,- /town, or Rp. 260.000.000,- for West Java
2. Expenses for the newsletter: Rp. 500.000,- per publication.
3. Production of the broschure Rp. 1.000.000,-
4. Documentation Rp. 5.000.000,-

The whole expenses for the campaign would be Rp. 267.500.000,-
