Sewu has a health care facility. It is located near

the riverbank areas that are most vulnerable to

disease. This is a community asset.

Poverty is concentrated

in the riverbank areas

that flood each year. High

poverty is also found at

Sewu’s western edge.

How can people

living on the

riverbanks get greater housing

stability? Land tenure is lower

than the Kec. average of 80%.

It is lowest along the rivers,

where people have built houses

beyond flood control barriers.

Do Sewu residents have access to

adequate health care?
