<![CDATA[Community empowerment through the development of productive skills is a strategy capable of enhancing economic self-reliance while fostering the growth of a household-based creative economy. This community service activity aimed to improve the knowledge and skills of PKK members in Limau Manis Village regarding dish soap production and to encourage the utilization of this activity as a creative business opportunity with economic value. The activity was conducted on July 31, 2026, involving 20 PKK members and supported by students from the Student Community Service (KKN) program. The implementation method comprised four stages: coordination and preparation, material presentation, a soap-making demonstration, and hands-on practice by the participants. The results indicated that participants actively engaged in the entire series of activities, demonstrating enthusiasm through discussions, inquiries, and independent execution of the soap-making process. The practical session successfully yielded 100 bottles of dish soap (250 ml each). The training not only enhanced participants' skills in meeting household needs but also provided fundamental knowledge regarding the potential to transform household products into creative business ventures. This activity demonstrates that practice-based training can serve as a starting point for enhancing community capacity, strengthening family economic self-reliance, and opening up opportunities for creative economy development in Limau Manis Village]]>
