Undp Helps Low-income 'jamu' Vendors In Jakarta

Apart from providing low-cost relief for all sorts of ailments, the making and selling of ‘jamu’, a traditional herbal brew, also provides Indonesian women with small-scale business income. International grants from the UN Development Programme are an important source of credit, which enable families to afford the benefits of education for their children. Courses in extra skills like acupressure therapy are helping the vendors to diversify their trade.
