Kesiman
Kesiman Hamlet, Rejosari Village
Kesiman is one of the two hamlets in Rejosari Village, where livelihoods largely depend on agricultural work. Its hilly landscape and rural setting influence residents’ access to homes and community facilities.
Narrow, steep roads can become difficult to navigate during rainy weather. The community also faces needs related to sanitation, health awareness, and access to educational resources.
Lebaksari
Lebaksari Hamlet, Rejosari Village

Limited business development and market access make it challenging for residents to expand their economic opportunities.
At Rejosari Elementary School, the wall paint needed renewal, creating an opportunity to improve the school environment through murals. Educational support was also needed to enrich students’ learning experiences.
Jembul
Jembul Village, Jatirejo District
Jembul is a highland village with promising tourism potential, including Coban Kabegjan Waterfall and the “Swimming Pool Above the Clouds,” a local attraction that had opened before the COVID-19 pandemic.

The hamlet is also known for its small businesses producing various types of chips, which serve as an important source of income for local residents.
