The PPMP-YCW Indonesia Cimencrang Base Group is organizing young workers to be part of the INGENIOUS Group. 

They have been established since 2021 and focusing on advertisement, promotion and opening small business opportunities. Most of the base group members are entrepreneurs coming from different provinces nearby Bandung.  Erson and Trisna, the key leaders of PPMP Indonesia are leading the group with the purposes to build and create cultural group of young workers, artists and entrepreneurs

Relatively, in Bandung district and nearby towns, many young workers occupation rely primarily on agriculture, manufacturing sector, service industry, restaurant, supermarket, hotel, shops and small retail businesses. However, their income is not enough for their daily living or they are being paid of less than the minimum wage mandated by the government of Rp 3.000.000 per month (USD200). 

The action of Cimencrang Base Group is performing in the street through dance and music expressing their cultural heritage as well as conveying the reality of young workers in the public. It also helps them to generate small income because some people are giving small amount of money in their street performance as a token of appreciation
