Mapping Kampung Orang Asli Ulu Jelintoh - Gopeng, Perak

Mapping Kampung Orang Asli Ulu Jelintoh

Join us to enable community impact   

We are on a mission to empower communities in Perak! In June 2025, Epic Lead Pathfinders began basic mapping and conversations with village leaders to activate their local resources to develop their communities. We have received their support to take the next step: Community Mapping.

We are looking for individuals to join us as volunteer Pathfinders, to interview community members and collect information that will enable the sharing of community stories in a dignified and accurate manner, and to invite collaborators to partner alongside these communities to enable positive impact.

If you have a passion for communities, enjoy having conversations or like to explore new places and meet new people, we're inviting you to join us as Pathfinders to map a village in Perak. Find out more about this village below!

About Kampung Orang Asli Ulu Kampar

Kampung Orang Asli Ulu Jelintoh is a serene Semai village in Gopeng, Perak, with a history spanning over three generations. Formerly known as Kampung Cheras, it is nestled within forested surroundings rich with natural resources like bamboo, rattan, and petai. The village comprises about 200 families, many of whom live in shared homes made from bamboo or brick. While traditional skills like weaving and herbal medicine are fading, the Sewang dance is still preserved as part of their cultural identity. The community is active, with high participation in village events and regular communal upkeep.

Their aspirations include building a cybercafé, improving road access, upgrading water pipelines, and setting up small business kiosks, especially for women. The community dreams of better facilities and connectivity
