Clean Water Flowing to Suka Jadi, Dolok Tolong
Fifteen families in the hamlet of Suka Jadi, Dairi, still have no safe drinking water. They are ready to dig the trench and pay for their own home connection materials. Help us build the tank and pipeline that will bring the water to them.

Since 18 June 2025, 230 households in Dolok Tolong Village, Sumbul District, Dairi Regency, North Sumatra, have had safe drinking water through a piped system run by their own Village Water Committee.
But 15 households in the hamlet of Suka Jadi, which is officially part of Dolok Tolong, are not connected yet. The hamlet is about 1,000 metres from the main pipeline, so people there still rely on water sources that are neither reliably safe nor always available. That is a real health risk for those families, especially the children.
What will be built
- One reinforced-concrete storage tank with a capacity of 15,000 litres, complete with inlet and outlet pipes and a float valve.
- About 1,000 metres of HDPE distribution pipeline from the main line to Suka Jadi, including a pressure-reducing valve.
- A household connection for each of the 15 families.
When it is done
Around 60 to 75 people will have clean water at home. The time and effort that now go into fetching water from far away can go to other things, and the risk of waterborne disease drops. Suka Jadi will join the fee and maintenance fund arrangement already in place, so the Dolok Tolong Village Water Committee can keep looking after the system.
