Jembatan Besi

Health
Many families run their own small businesses and selling food or second-hand goods from waste tips is common.
Jakarta has a significant garment industry but the factory workers have little protection and there are very few health and safety precautions.
Sanitation levels are low and very few homes have toilets. Those which do, have their toilets flush out into open sewers in the street.
There is no running water and groundwater supplies are highly polluted because Jembatan Besi is built on a former waste tip.
