<![CDATA[ABSTRAK Program pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kapasitas Kelompok Wanita Tani (KWT) “NAWASENA” di Desa Karangpring, Kecamatan Sukorambi, Kabupaten Jember melalui pelatihan pembuatan sabun cuci piring berbahan baku bunga mawar. Kegiatan dilatarbelakangi oleh melimpahnya hasil panen bunga mawar yang selama ini hanya dijual segar dengan harga relatif rendah dan minimnya keterampilan pengolahan produk bernilai tambah. Pelaksanaan program dilakukan melalui tahapan survei, persiapan, pelatihan, pendampingan, dan evaluasi. Metode yang digunakan berupa demonstrasi dan praktik langsung sehingga peserta memperoleh pemahaman menyeluruh mengenai teknik pembuatan, pengemasan, dan strategi pemasaran produk. Hasil pelatihan menunjukkan peningkatan signifikan pada pengetahuan dan keterampilan anggota KWT, terbukti dari hasil post-test yang lebih tinggi dibanding pre-test. Produk sabun cuci piring yang dihasilkan memiliki keunggulan berupa aroma khas mawar, ramah lingkungan, dan berpotensi dikembangkan menjadi usaha berbasis komunitas. Dengan demikian, kegiatan ini berhasil memperkuat kapasitas KWT dalam memanfaatkan potensi lokal, meningkatkan nilai tambah hasil pertanian, serta mendukung pemberdayaan ekonomi perempuan secara berkelanjutan.

ABSTRACTThis community service program aims to enhance the capacity of the “NAWASENA” Women Farmers Group (KWT) in Karangpring Village, Sukorambi District, Jember Regency through training in producing dishwashing soap made from rose flowers. The program was initiated due to the abundant harvest of roses, which are commonly sold fresh at low prices, and the limited skills in processing them into value-added products. The implementation stages included survey, preparation, training, mentoring, and evaluation. The training was carried out through demonstration and hands-on practice, enabling participants to gain comprehensive knowledge of soap-making techniques, packaging, and marketing strategies. The results showed a significant improvement in participants’ knowledge and skills, as evidenced by higher post-test scores compared to pre-test. The dishwashing soap produced has distinctive advantages, including a natural rose fragrance, eco-friendly properties, and potential to be developed into a community-based business. Therefore, this program successfully strengthened the group’s capacity to utilize local potential, increased the added value of agricultural products, and supported sustainable women’s economic empowerment.
