Sometimes the most important part of a renewable energy project isn't the technology. It's the people. Over the past few weeks, we spent time in Kampung Pokolon, Kampung Paus and Kampung Kodop Baru, and one thing has stood out to me every time, the spirit of gotong-royong. Collective work.
People come together to clear sites, carry heavy materials, dig holes, erect poles, prepare community buildings, cook for volunteers and simply help one another. No one is asked to do it because it's in a contract. They do it because they believe this is their project. This is something we always remind people when they ask what makes Community Based Renewable Energy ( CBRE) different.
We are not just installing solar panels or building a micro-hydro system. We are building ownership. When a community contributes its own labour and time, something changes. The project is no longer TONIBUNG's. It is no longer the donor's. It belongs to the community. That sense of ownership is what makes the difference years later.
The community is more willing to protect the infrastructure, collect tariffs fairly, maintain the system, solve problems together and make sure the next generation benefits from it. Of course, gotong-royong isn't always easy. People have farms, families and their own responsibilities. Sometimes there are disagreements, delays or different expectations. But when communities work through those challenges together, they become stronger, not just as project beneficiaries, but as partners.
After more than 20 years working with Indigenous communities, We learned that technology alone doesn't make a project sustainable. Relationships do. Trust does. Ownership does. Thank you to the people of Kampung Pokolon, Kampung Paus and Kampung Kodop Baru for reminding us that the true power behind renewable energy is not the turbine or the solar panel, it's the community standing behind it.

We come a long way, from the remote village in Ulu Papar, Crocker Range to the costal area in Pitas Laut in Ramsar Site. Leaving no one behind.

Proud to one of the partner

Our local partner organizations lead the way. Without their expertise and daily dedication, none of the progress we’ve made together over the years would exist.

Together in 2025 we reached 81 communities with critical water and energy infrastructure. This collective effort brought household water & sanitation services to more than 21,000 individuals, household energy access to 1,200 people, and energized health services for 50,000 people.

These numbers represent hours returned to families, healthier living conditions, and growing economic opportunities.

Read how these ripples of impact are expanding in our full 2025 Annual Report.
