Abstract

Menteng Village, located in the Jekan Raya Subdistrict, Palangka Raya City, experiences health problems due to the increasing prevalence of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) during the rainy season. To equip the community with the necessary knowledge to address this issue, a community service team conducted outreach and training on making local herbal-based drink supplements to increase platelet levels in DHF patients. The outreach included information on the importance of platelets in DHF and the pharmacological properties of herbal plants such as papaya leaves, sweet potato leaves, and patikan kebo leaves. The activity continued with training on herbal infusion techniques. The evaluation results showed an increase in participants' understanding of DHF and herbal supplements, from only 27% who were at a very knowledgeable level before the activity to 80% after the activity. This activity successfully increased participants' knowledge of DHF treatment and provided practical skills in making herbal supplements.

Abstract

Talian Kereng Village, located in Katingan Hilir District, Central Kalimantan, faces challenges regarding the availability of fertilizers for upland rice farmers on peatlands, with a heavy reliance on government-subsidized chemical fertilizers. To address this issue, a community empowerment program was implemented to promote independent organic fertilizer production using local resources. The program involved education and training for the Maju Bersama farmer group on the production of decomposers, liquid organic fertilizer (eco enzyme), and compost from household waste and harvest residues. The results showed a significant increase in knowledge, where initially, 53.9% of participants had limited understanding of decomposer and eco enzyme production, but after the training, 95.3% of participants fully comprehended the material. Furthermore, all participants became skilled in producing organic fertilizers. This program is expected to enhance farmers' self-sufficiency in meeting fertilizer needs, reduce dependence on chemical fertilizers, and support agricultural sustainability in Talian Kereng Village.
