Abstract

People with disabilities often experience limited access to decent work and supporting technology, resulting in low income and vulnerability to family food security. This condition reflects the importance of technology-based economic empowerment interventions that are environmentally friendly and easy to adopt. This community service aims to analyze the effectiveness of the application of aquaponics-animal husbandry technology in improving the competence, productivity, and potential for economic independence of people with disabilities. This community service uses a qualitative approach with a Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) design. The subjects were 58 residents with disabilities, who also became subjects of the training and technology application trial. Data were collected through pre- and post-tests of competency, direct observation, and field documentation, with instruments in the form of skill assessment sheets and open-ended interviews. Data analysis was conducted descriptively-qualitatively. The results showed an increase in the ability to adopt aquaponics-animal husbandry technology after the training, where 61% successfully completed the production unit independently, while 17.11% were still in the half-finished stage, and only 3.28% did not continue. The potential increase in partner income reached IDR 20,100,000 per year. The conclusion shows that the integration of environmental technologies such as aquaponics-animal husbandry can increase food independence, economics, and life skills of people with disabilities.

Abstract

Purpose: This Community Service Program aimed to enhance awareness of early stunting prevention, promote the use of locally available nutrient-rich foods, and encourage balanced and sustainable dietary practices. Methodology: The program was carried out at Posyandu Tomeko A, East Penfui Village, using a participatory educational approach that combined counselling on the importance of iron intake during pregnancy with demonstrations of processing red spinach into nutritious foods. A 5-point Likert-scale satisfaction questionnaire was administered after the activity, and data were analyzed descriptively. Results: Thirty participants mostly adult women and adolescent girls aged ?21 years took part in the program and showed strong enthusiasm, particularly on risk factors and dietary challenges. Evaluation of 300 responses showed very positive feedback, with 62.3% “Very Satisfied,” 36.0% “Satisfied,” yielding a mean score of 4.61. Overall, the program effectively enhanced participants’ understanding of the importance of iron intake during the first 1,000 days of life in preventing stunting. Conclusions: The counseling program effectively improved community awareness through structured nutrition education, demonstrations of local iron-rich foods, and leaflet distribution. High satisfaction scores indicate that the materials were relevant and well-received. Limitations: No pre–post testing was conducted, the sample was small, and no follow-up assessment occurred. Contributions: The program provides practical guidance for families and posyandu cadres and demonstrates that participatory education can motivate communities to act as agents of change in stunting prevention.
