Abstract

High cholesterol is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease often overlooked by the public. This community service aimed to increase public awareness among members of the Pusaka Aji Kalibayem Healthy Heart Club. By enhancing public knowledge about the importance of cholesterol checks, this initiative sought to prevent and early detect cardiovascular disease. The program encompassed health education, cholesterol screenings, and health consultations. A comprehensive cholesterol check program was conducted involving 35 members of the club. Results indicated a substantial increase in public awareness of cholesterol and its associated risks following participation. Before the program, only 25% of participants were aware of the need for regular cholesterol checks, which rose to 81% post-intervention. The comprehensive cholesterol check program at Pusaka Aji Kalibayem Healthy Heart Club effectively raised public awareness about cholesterol monitoring. Similar initiatives can be implemented in other communities to reduce cardiovascular disease risk through early detection and increased awareness.

Abstract

The Tanjung Asri Women Farmers Group (KWT) has great potential to develop businesses based on local resources, particularly lemongrass. Lemongrass, which offers numerous benefits, especially in the form of lemongrass oil, presents a promising business opportunity. However, the KWT members' lack of knowledge regarding lemongrass oil processing and business management poses a challenge. This community service activity aims to improve the knowledge and skills of KWT members in processing lemongrass into lemongrass oil and marketing the product through e-commerce. Through counseling, training, and demonstrations, KWT members were given an understanding of the benefits of lemongrass, lemongrass oil processing techniques, and online marketing strategies. The results of this activity indicate a significant increase in KWT members' knowledge about the added value of lemongrass and the business potential of lemongrass oil. In addition, KWT members also gained a better understanding of digital-based business management. Thus, this community service activity is expected to encourage the development of micro, small, and medium enterprises based on local resources in KWT Tanjung Asri.
