Abstract

The spread of the Covid-19 outbreak is a serious problem that threatens the health and must be addressed immediately. People are required to comply with health protocols, one of which is by wearing a mask. The use of masks is an effort to minimize the transmission of the Covid-19 virus. The high demand for masks, especially medical masks, causes scarcity and high prices in the market. As an alternative, a cloth mask is needed that can be used daily for activities for the community during the Covid-19 pandemic. The purpose of this community service activity is to socialize the proper and correct use of cloth masks. This service activity also aims to provide training to housewives to make masks independently from cloth that can be used in daily activities. Besides functioning as a prevention for the Covid-19 virus, cloth masks can also be sold as an effort for housewives during the Covid-19 pandemic. Methods of activity and implementation are carried out through outreach, training, and mentoring approaches.

Abstract

This study offers an empirical assessment of the sustainable livelihood components among rural households in South Sumatra, contributing original insights into how different livelihood capitals interact with household well-being. The research aims to analyze the vulnerability context, evaluate the sustainability level of various livelihood assets, and examine the relationship between livelihood capitals and outcomes. Using a quantitative approach within the sustainable livelihood framework, data were collected from households in two villages: mainland and coastal areas. The findings indicate that the overall livelihood sustainability of rural households in both locations falls within the medium category. Physical and natural capitals were the most dominant assets, while financial capital was at a moderate level, and social and human capitals were considerably underdeveloped. The low levels of education among respondents were closely linked to the limited accumulation of human and social capital. Further analysis revealed that certain livelihood assets, particularly social and natural capital, had a significant association with household health status, reflecting a tangible impact on livelihood outcomes. These findings underscore the need for targeted policy interventions that prioritize human capital development and community-based social strengthening to enhance overall livelihood sustainability in rural areas.
