UPPKS or an effort to increase the income of welfare family is a derivative of KB program. UPPKS is a tool to increase prosperity for families that participate in Birth Control Program (KB). Through UPPKS program, the government assists the society by lending them money as the capital for their business. The goal of the government program itself is to help the society to increase their income and prosperity by creating a business from the capital that is given by the government. In some areas, there are few families that participate Birth Control Program (KB). In this case, UPPKS has a program to persuade the families to participate in Birth Control Program (KB). In the process, the society is divided into several groups, then make a proposal to ask money from the government as the capital of their business. The next step after receiving the money, each group has rights to decide how to use that money to start a new business to increase their income. Yet, each group has a duty to pay back the money to the government which will be paid monthly through a certain bank. The success of UPPKS program is basically because of good social capital. Social capital includes several aspects such as belief, social interaction, and norm. Belief itself includes confidence in the scope of family, solidarity, and responsibility. Social interaction itself is like an organization. The last, Norm is rule that is used to define appropriate and inappropriate values, beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors in daily life. Therefore, the goal of this research is to know the social capital role for the business growth that is owned by the society, especially KB participants in Sendangtirto Village that is merged with UPPKS money assistance program which is sponsored by the government of Sleman Regency.

The groups that succeed are the groups that have a strong social capital. The members of the group itself must be active, independent, have good solidarity, and help each other. The government will easier to lend money again to these groups for the next periods. However, the groups that do not show the significant growth or stagnant in running the business are the group that lack of solidarity.
