        "content": "<p>Bandung (ANTARA) - Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia (UPI) has\ncompleted the renovation of an uninhabitable house belonging to a\nresident in West Bandung Regency, which had stood in a deplorable\ncondition for about 20 years due to extreme poverty. UPI Rector Didi\nSukyadi stated that over the two decades, the house owned by Mak Tati,\nwho is nearly 70 years old, had been without access to electricity, and\nshe occupied a dwelling that did not meet habitability standards. \u201cThat\ncondition directly impacts quality of life, particularly in terms of\nsafety, health, and daily activities,\u201d Didi said in Bandung on\nWednesday. Didi added that the house relied solely on kerosene lamps at\nnight, and the damaged structure was deemed to increase risks during\nextreme weather. \u201cMany people still do not enjoy electricity, even\nthough infrastructure is already available. One of the obstacles is the\nlimited funds for installation and monthly electricity payments,\u201d he\nsaid. \u201cThis system utilises solar panels and batteries as an energy\nstorage source,\u201d he added. Programme implementation chair Yaya Sonjaya\nnoted that the construction was carried out collaboratively, involving\nthe local community. Moving forward, the programme will continue with\neconomic empowerment and education on managing solar energy technology\nto ensure sustainable benefits for the community. \u201cWe targeted\ncompleting the house construction in one week, and alhamdulillah, it was\nachieved as planned through cooperation with the local community,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>",
