Transforming Vacant Land into a TOGA Garden with KISS Bangun Bandar Women’s Group and Bah Kerapuh Village Community

18 May 2026

As part of community empowerment and productive land utilization efforts, the KISS Bangun Bandar women’s group together with women from Bah Kerapuh Village planted chili, lettuce, and papaya seedlings in the Divisi 3 Cemara area. The vacant land is being developed into a TOGA (Family Medicinal Plants) garden that can be utilized by the surrounding community. This activity was carried out in collaboration with the Head of Bah Kerapuh Village to support the management and sustainability of the land. Previously, similar initiatives had also been implemented through the cultivation of melons and watermelons in Divisions 1 and 2. Through this initiative, it is hoped that the sustainable use of vacant land will continue to provide positive benefits for both the environment and the surrounding community.
