Purpose – The purpose of this community service activity is to provide education to the residents of Dusun Tapen, especially the Water Hyacinth Craftsmen of Cempaka Tapen, to enhance the digital marketing of their products. In this activity, we also aim to encourage the local government to support Cempaka Tapen's handicraft business so that it can become a Village-Owned Enterprise (BUMDES) and further advance and develop.
