Abstract

The problem of poverty is an issue that continues to be a major concern in Indonesia, including in North Sumatra Province. This research aims to identify the socio-economic characteristics of poor households in North Sumatra Province in 2024, taking into account factors such as income, home ownership, age, number of family members, education, and access to financial institutions. The research method used is qualitative with a descriptive approach, involving analysis of primary data in the form of interviews and secondary data from related literature. The results of the analysis show that the majority of households in the area face serious economic challenges, with low incomes and large family members. The solution to overcome this problem is through collaboration between government, the private sector, and non-government organizations, with a focus on increasing access to education services, health, social assistance programs, skills training, and job creation. It is hoped that this joint effort can reduce the level of poverty in North Sumatra Province, providing opportunities for a more decent and sustainable life for the community.

Abstract

The Life Skills Development Program for Orphans in Medan was implemented as an effort to increase the capacity, independence, and future preparedness of children who are in vulnerable situations due to a lack of nuclear family support. This activity focuses on providing soft skills and hard skills training through a Participatory Action Program (PAP) approach that actively involves participants in the learning process. Soft skills training includes self-management, effective communication, teamwork, and critical thinking skills, while hard skills training emphasizes digital literacy, creative skills, and basic entrepreneurship. Evaluation of the activity was carried out through pre- and post-tests, behavioral observations, mini-project assessments, and participant satisfaction questionnaires. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in participants' knowledge, self-confidence, communication skills, creativity, and technical skills. The program also produced training modules that can be used continuously by orphanages. Thus, this program has proven effective in helping orphans develop relevant life skills that can be applied in everyday life and serve as an important foundation for future economic and social independence

Abstract

Children's reading and literacy interests are important foundations for developing knowledge, skills, and character. Orphans, as a vulnerable group, often face limited access to reading materials and literacy facilities, thus requiring special attention to improve their reading skills and learning interests. This research and community service activity aims to develop an effective literacy movement in orphanages in Medan through book lending programs, interactive reading lessons, group discussions, and literacy-based creative activities. The method used is a participatory action approach, including identifying needs, developing literacy modules, implementing shared reading activities, mentoring, and evaluating reading interests. The implementation results show a significant increase in children's reading frequency, reading comprehension, discussion skills, and learning motivation. This program has a positive impact on learning independence, character development, and awareness of the importance of literacy for orphans. These findings confirm that a literacy movement based on active participation can be a model for sustainable non-formal education empowerment for vulnerable groups.
