Abstract

Kelurahan Karya Jaya is a community where a significant number of people engage in jamu production. The community service program Revitalizing Traditional Jamu: The Development of Herbalis Milk in Kelurahan Karya Jaya, Tebing Tinggi aims to strengthen the potential of traditional jamu by innovating their presentation into herbal-based milk products. Jamu, one of Indonesia’s cultural heritage, is frequently viewed as unappealing to younger generations because of its bitter flavor and traditional presentation. Transforming jamu into herbal milk not only enhances its taste but also boosts its nutritional benefits and makes it more acceptable to consumers, particularly children and young people. The problems identified include limited knowledge of residents in product diversification, lack of skills in hygienic and modern processing, and minimal access to packaging technology that is attractive and marketable. To resolve these challenges, we provide training and workshops on turning jamu into herbalis milk, practical guidance and direct teaching during the production process, as well as assistance in packaging and marketing strategies. This activity is expected to revitalize the traditional jamu culture, create added economic value for the community, and open wider market opportunities through innovative herbal milk products. The methods used in this service activity are training and practice, mentoring, and monitoring and evaluation.

Abstract

The massive flooding that struck Medan in November 2025 severely affected the Tanjung Gusta neighborhood in Medan Helvetia subdistrict, prompting the Al-Yahdi Medan Foundation to serve as an evacuation center. It also contaminated residents' clean Water sources, while the public still judges Water safety by visual clarity alone, without understanding pH as a key chemical indicator. This community service activity, under the Pioneer Service Program of the Vocational Faculty, Universitas Sumatera Utara, aimed to enhance the knowledge and skills of teachers, students, and parents at Al-Yahdi Foundation in assessing Water potability after the flood through education on pH parameters and training in portable pH meters, complementing simpler pH indicator (litmus) paper. Conducted at Al-Yahdi Foundation from April to November 2026, the activity comprised coordination, instrument design and validation, outreach, demonstrations, hands-on training, distribution of instruments and manuals, mentoring, and pretest–posttest evaluations. Average comprehension scores rose from 43.8 ('insufficient') to 87.0 ('good'). pH of Water samples from partner communities ranged from 5.9 to 7.2, with some outside the safe range set by Indonesia's Ministry of Health (6.5–8.5). This initiative effectively raised public awareness and fostered self-reliance in testing Water quality before consumption during post-flood recovery, supporting Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 3 and 6.
