Community health workers play a vital role in advancing community-based health efforts. They educate the public, conduct early disease detection, promote healthy behaviors, and serve as a bridge between the community and healthcare services. This care work is often associated with women, who are perceived to have ample free time to contribute. However, only a small number of women, primarily those over the age of 40, continue to remain active in this roles. This raises the question of why some women choose to become health workers and persist in this role. This ethnographic research, conducted from February to April 2024 in western Yogyakarta, utilizes interviews and participant observation with an active community health worker. By employing a life history approach, this study highlights how the lived experiences and personal narratives of health workers shape and motivate their commitment to care work. The study provides insight into the challenges faced by these workers and emphasizes the intrinsic values and satisfaction they derive from their contributions to the community. These findings have important policy implications, particularly regarding incentives that could enhance the motivation of community health workers. Additionally, this research can inform the development of better policies aimed at increasing community participation.
