Dear mom...I knew how hard you try to raise me up, It is not something ordinary people could do. Trying to get a penny from the thing you can do from the dawn to the dusk. Years ago I was a little kid and no way to understand how hard it was for you. But, I could feel that feeling clearly even though I was a child. I made you cry thousand times.

Flash of the memory

---

This is how these women trying to get something for living in this village, I felt as if they are my mom years ago. She washed my clothes in the river, that day I had a dream to help her by building a good floor to avoid her fingers from getting hurt and bleeding. I saw it many times, I could feel it. Today, I feel as if I saw my mom sitting there washing my dirty clothes without any shade over her.

A lady is washing the clothes without any shade over her in Keude Aceh village at my first assessment

This is the thing that I will propose to the donor, I would like to help them feel better and get a better income. The washing floor for them to wash the clothes. They wash not only their own clothes but they wash somebody else clothes to be paid something for their family. They try to earn something for a living, and it is hard for them as you can see.

You may ask how much money they could earn by washing the clothes. At the first assessment, I have asked them how much they could earn from washing the clothes. It surprised me a lot because they could only earn Rp. 50,000 (9 steem)/month for one client, and the maximum they can take order from 3-4 clients.

Base on community assessment most of the local community were not willing to use their washing service because they wash the clothes in the river as they know the water in the river is not clean at all. Thi was the story behind the construction of the concrete washing floor for the community in 2 villages.

As you can see here in the picture the whole process of the construction for both site:

I hope this new washing floor will help them to increase the income and get more trust from the client to use their washing service since they have access to drilling well in both areas.

This is where I use most of my income on the steemit platform, not only support myself but also my operation cost during my assignment in Pidie Jaya and Samalanga Bireuen.

Donator only supports Rp. 25,000 (4 steem) a day for my operation cost, this cost to cover all single thing I need in the field. My strategy to cover the rest of the cost is by making the post and sell some of the income (SBD and Steem).

I hope this project will be able to support reducing poverty in the target community.
