This study aimed to understand the reasons why people from Muntigunung and Pedahan, Bali Province, Indonesia, live as beggars and find alternative solutions used to build a good image for the two villages. The results of this study showed that some members of the villages who were formerly beggars had started to show an interest in the activities. They processed the sap of Palmyra palm tree sap not only to sell it to people in the surrounding areas but also were trained to process the sap into crystallized brown sugar to meet the demands of hotels and restaurants.
