Pathfinders Mapping KOA Ulu Batu

Join us to get to know Kampung Orang Asli Ulu Batu!

We are on a mission to empower communities in Selangor! In early November, EPIC Lead Pathfinders began basic mapping and conversations with village leaders to activate their local resources to develop their own 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 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 Kampung Orang Asli Ulu Batu in Gombak! Find out more about this village below!

The village is home to over 190 villagers, mostly of Temuan descent. The village is located near the Ulu Yam river and near a forest area. The community enjoys tending their durian farms, fishing and farming in their free time.
