Abstract

Dalig Raya Village in Simalungun Regency has great potential in red ginger plants. This plant has various health values ​​and benefits. However, the processing of this plant is still lacking, thus hampering its maximum utilization. By optimizing this potential, Dalig Raya Village can become a center for red ginger processing production that contributes to the local economy and improves community welfare, as well as introducing the health benefits of red ginger to the wider community. Therefore, the community service team conducted community service through the International Community Service Scheme in collaboration with UiTM Penang to carry out activities. The methods used to carry out community service include initial discussions with the community, conducting the production process, and training business management. The results of this community service created a red ginger candy product that acts as an anti-cancer, lowers blood sugar and cholesterol, strengthens the immune system, and helps ward off bacterial and viral infections while reducing arthritis symptoms. The PKM team also provided training on how to make ginger candy products. This activity not only provides knowledge but also has the potential to improve public health through the use of herbal plants.

Abstract

This community service program aimed to enhance the digital financial literacy of traditional jamu sellers in Karya Jaya Village, Rambutan District, Tebing Tinggi City, through the implementation of a structured training and mentoring model. The program was designed using a participatory approach that integrated needs assessment, classroom instruction, hands-on workshops, and post-training mentoring. Initial field observations revealed that most participants relied on memory-based or manual bookkeeping practices, resulting in inaccurate financial records, difficulty separating personal and business finances, and limited ability to evaluate profitability. Training sessions introduced participants to user-friendly digital bookkeeping applications, particularly VoCash, focusing on cash flow recording, expense categorization, financial separation, and preparation of basic financial reports. Evaluation using pre-test and post-test instruments demonstrated an average increase of 45% in participants’ financial knowledge and digital competency. Furthermore, 85% of participants reported being able to independently record transactions after the mentoring phase. Beyond technical improvements, the program fostered behavioral changes in financial discipline and transparency. The findings indicate that community-based digital literacy interventions can significantly strengthen micro-entrepreneurs’ financial management capacity and support sustainable local economic development.
