This study analyzes the implementation of sustainability-based education for orphanage children through the Kuliah Kerja Nyata (KKN) community service program in supporting the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The program consisted of four main activities: moral and worship development, environmentally based simple biotechnology practices, basic economic literacy, and foreign language skills. The research used a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through participatory observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation during program implementation and analyzed thematically.The results show improvements in religious understanding and worship practices, development of applied science skills through simple biotechnology, increased awareness of financial management and saving habits, and better basic foreign-language communication skills. Moral and worship development contributes to SDG 4 (Quality Education) and SDG 16 (Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions). Simple biotechnology supports SDG 4, SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), and SDG 13 (Climate Action). Economic literacy relates to SDG 1 (No Poverty), SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), and SDG 4, while foreign-language skills support SDG 4 and SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities). The participatory approach enhances children’s cognitive, affective, and practical skills and indicates that integrated education-based community service effectively supports community-level sustainable development.
