Social Return on Investment (SROI) Program of Drilled Well Construction in Kayang Village, Pantar Barat Laut District, Alor Regency, East Nusa Tenggara in Achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SGDs)

Abstract

Drilled well have a very important role in fulfilling the water needs in a community, especially for people in Kayang Village, Pantar Barat Laut District, Alor Regency, East Nusa Tenggara. It is because those people have to spend IDR 3,000 per 20 liters of water to fulfill their need for clean water. Normally one person spends 49.9 liters of clean water a day in 1 month (30 days), which means they require 49.9 liters of clean water x 30 days = 1,497 per liter of water a month. If per 20 liters cost IDR 3,000.00, then the total need for one person in a month is IDR 224,550.00. This number is multiplied by the number of residents, 870 is the total population of Kayang village. This research is to assess the impacts of the construction of a drilled well program conducted by LAZNAS Yatim Mandiri by applying the Social Return On Investment method (SROI) in Kayang Village, Pantar Barat Laut District, Alor Regency, NTT. This method is to calculate the extent of the social impact resulting from the programs that have been carried out. SROI calculation is taken from the value of input from the construction of drilled well, assistance in the management of drilled well, sustainable use of clean water, and operational costs. Meanwhile, the value of impact is monetized by increasing the quality of human life, improving health, and minimizing environmental damage. The outcome of value impact was 2.97 which means that each LAZNAS Yatim Mandiri investment of IDR 1 has a social benefit of IDR 2.97. In other words, the social benefits of the program generated are greater than the funds distributed. This can encourage the growth of the economic activities of the surrounding community with money as capital for a business rather than for buying clean water. This also means to achieve the goals of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), namely regions free from poverty, healthy and quality lives, the availability of clean water, and proper sanitation.
