In April 2007, as part of post-conflict reintegration efforts in Aceh supported by the IOM through its Information, Counseling, and Referral Services (ICRS) initiative, Timang contributed by organizing a three-day livelihood training session in Aceh Besar for approximately 30 former combatants. The training focused on basic financial literacy, simple bookkeeping, and an introduction to marketing to support livelihood strengthening and socio-economic reintegration.

Severe flooding that struck Aceh Tamiang Regency in late November 2025 caused damage to and contamination of clean water sources, particularly household wells and small-scale water systems. Many residents lost access to safe water during the emergency and early recovery periods, increasing health risks and household burdens.

In response to this situation, a WASH intervention was implemented from January to February 2026 to restore clean water access in the affected areas. Activities focused on installing water supply systems and rehabilitating wells, guided by field assessments, coordination with local government, and community input.

During implementation, four stationary water system units and one mobile water system unit were operated across several priority villages, while 34 damaged and contaminated wells were cleaned and rehabilitated—particularly in Kampung Lintang Bawah, where needs were greater. The scope of activities was adjusted from the initial plan to better respond to field conditions without altering the intervention's primary objective.

Despite facing access constraints due to mud and environmental damage, as well as challenges regarding community understanding of safe water usage, the active involvement of residents—including women and youth—facilitated smooth implementation. This intervention contributed to restoring clean water access, reducing reliance on unsafe water sources, and strengthening public health during the early post-flood recovery phase.

Supported by the Kyeema Foundation through the Humanitarian Relief Fund mechanism.

Supported by the HAkA Foundation, Timang cleaned 80 wells in Gampong Meunasah Jaya, Meurah Dua District, Pidie Jaya, using a Cash for Work (CfW) mechanism; additionally, Timang constructed a borehole well facility complete with a water tank, tank stand, water pump, and piping.

On March 18, 2026, the NGO Timang distributed *Zakat Mal* (wealth alms) from a Rakan Timang in Jakarta to 20 mustahiq (eligible recipients) in Meunasah Raya, Meurah Dua District, Pidie Jaya. These recipients were flash flood victims who had undergone a rigorous re-selection process by our team, with priority given to the most vulnerable groups: widows who had lost their financial support, the elderly requiring special care, and individuals with disabilities struggling to meet their daily needs. This initiative not only provided direct material aid but also strengthened the Rakan Timang solidarity network in supporting post-disaster recovery in Aceh, aligning with our commitment to disaster risk management.

Timang also carried out the cleaning of 20 wells in Gampong Meunasah Bie, Meurah Dua Sub District, with support from the Leuser International Foundation, as part of efforts to restore access to clean water for flood-affected communities. The entire well-cleaning process was successfully completed within one week, concluding on June 7, 2026, thereby enabling residents to once again utilize these clean water sources for their daily needs.

In June 2026, Timang, with support from Yayasan HAkA, implemented a post-flood recovery program in Meunasah Raya and Dayah Kruet Villages, Meurah Dua Subdistrict, Pidie Jaya Regency, through a Cash for Work (CfW) approach. The program aimed to restore access to clean water and improve the living conditions of flood-affected households while providing temporary employment opportunities for affected community members. All planned activities were successfully completed, including pressure washing 97 houses in Meunasah Raya Village using high-pressure water jet equipment and rehabilitating and cleaning 85 dug wells in Dayah Kruet Village.

The program demonstrated the effectiveness of the Cash for Work approach in supporting post-disaster recovery by actively engaging local communities, accelerating environmental rehabilitation, and providing short-term economic benefits to affected households. The experience also generated valuable lessons that will help Timang strengthen the design and implementation of future recovery initiatives.

As part of its post-flood recovery efforts, LSM Timang, with support from Yayasan HAkA, established the "Puwoe Seumangat" Women's Group in Dayah Kruet Village, Meurah Dua Subdistrict, Pidie Jaya Regency.

The group adopts an inclusive approach by ensuring that each household is represented by one woman aged 30–59 years. This model gives every household a voice in decision-making while creating opportunities for all families to benefit from a community-managed social enterprise.

Through a participatory process, members elected the group's leadership and agreed on the name of their community-owned drinking water business, "Puleh Grah." To strengthen the group's capacity, LSM Timang also delivered training on organizational management, administration, basic bookkeeping, and financial management. These activities equipped the group's leaders and members with the practical skills needed to manage the enterprise in a professional, transparent, and accountable manner.

Looking ahead, LSM Timang will continue mentoring Puwoe Seumangat as it develops the "Puleh Grah" enterprise while supporting the group to establish additional community-based livelihood initiatives aligned with local opportunities. This long-term approach aims to strengthen women's leadership, improve household economic resilience, and contribute to sustainable community development.

LSM Timang, with support from Yayasan HAkA, has successfully completed the installation of a Reverse Osmosis (RO) drinking water facility in Dayah Kruet Village, Meurah Dua Subdistrict, Pidie Jaya Regency. The initiative forms part of the community's post-flood recovery efforts by improving access to safe and clean drinking water.

The RO facility has been fully installed, tested, and is ready for operation to meet the community's drinking water needs. By providing a reliable source of safe drinking water, the facility is expected to improve public health while reducing the community's dependence on drinking water supplied from outside the village.

The facility will be managed by the women's group "Puwoe Seumangat" under their community-owned drinking water enterprise, "Puleh Grah." Beyond delivering safe drinking water, the initiative also creates sustainable livelihood opportunities by enabling women to manage a local social enterprise that benefits the wider community.

Through the collaboration of Yayasan HAkA, the Dayah Kruet Village Government, and LSM Timang, this initiative demonstrates that post-disaster recovery can go beyond restoring infrastructure by strengthening community capacity and establishing essential services that generate lasting social and economic benefits.
