● Within officially gazetted lands families divide the land

and it is handed down through the generations. The

allocation of land to each family is decided by the

community and supervised by the village JKKK*

● We work closely with JAKOA**, the JKKK and villagers to

verify the families have permission and/or land titles.

● Majority of villages we have worked with are gazetted

but there are many in need who are not.
