At Sekolah Rakyat Kubu, Bali, the CBFT Guest House moved through government coordination, site permitting, and land allocation with full institutional backing.
A 126 sqm plot allocated. The Ministry of Public Works and Ministry of Social Affairs both engaged. Cave Urban building on site, backed by a Hilti Foundation grant.
Sekolah Rakyat is the beginning, not the destination.
That same framework is now being extended toward Indonesia’s most urgent challenge — millions of low-income families without access to safe, affordable homes. Bambu Baru is working with the Ministry of Housing to bring CBFT into Indonesia’s affordable housing programme, including FLPP, the government’s subsidised mortgage scheme for low-income households.
Bamboo Village Trust has led the government relationships that connect these dots — from a guest house in Bali to a national housing agenda. The model is proven. The institutions are engaged. The next step is scale.
