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.

Abstract

Purpose: This community service program is designed to increase the quantity and quality of pure coconut oil production. through a partnership with Mitra Mina Malole. Methodology/approach: A participatory approach is implemented through training on VCO fermentation technology, mentoring on the use of appropriate tools, and regular implementation evaluations. The implementation team, comprising lecturers and students, collaborates directly with the partner community to transfer technology and monitor production outcomes. Results/findings: The community service program demonstrated an increase in production capacity, from 10–13 bottles per day to 20–25 bottles in 100 mL packaging, as well as improved product quality, resulting in a more hygienic and high-quality product. The product has obtained a P-IRT label and permit, and marketing has begun to expand, contributing to increased income and welfare for the local community. Conclutions: Community partnerships through appropriate technology and training have successfully improved the quality and production capacity of Virgin Coconut Oil in Ingguinak Village, increased family income, strengthened local business institutions, and expanded market access with more competitive and hygienic products. Limitations: The limited time for implementation means that ongoing support is still very much needed. Limited access to logistics and infrastructure in remote areas means that product distribution is not yet optimal. Contribution: This Program provides tangible socio-economic impacts for coconut farming communities. This program's recommendations can serve as a reference for developing broader community service policies and practices, supporting sustainable development, and strengthening local natural resource-based community economies.
