This community service program aimed to strengthen household accounting literacy among housewives in the PKK group of Kelurahan Nambo, Kecamatan Nambo, Southeast Sulawesi, as a strategy to reduce household poverty risk. The method combined participatory adult-learning lectures, case simulations, small-group discussion, and four weeks of hands-on mentoring in filling household cash books, debt-monitoring cards, and monthly evaluation sheets. The program was attended by housewives active in PKK activities, with pre-test and post-test used to measure knowledge gains. Results showed an increase in participants' understanding of budgeting, cash-flow recording, and emergency-fund planning, along with growing ability to separate household and side-business funds. The program is recommended to continue through periodic mentoring by local PKK cadres to sustain behavioral change.
