This community service activity aimed to enhance public knowledge and skills regarding reproductive health, particularly cervical cancer prevention, and the utilization of local plants as nutritious and economically valuable food sources. Conducted in a community hall with a participatory approach, ten PKK cadres served as primary participants. Pre- and post-tests were administered to assess knowledge improvement, revealing a significant increase from 50% to 75% on average, demonstrating the effectiveness of the educational methods employed. The integration of culturally relevant visual media, interactive sessions, and practical cooking workshops proved essential. Support from the faculty, village leadership, and active community engagement fostered strong collaboration. Findings indicate that interactive, context-sensitive education effectively boosts awareness and practical competencies, strengthening local resilience. The initiative contributed to increased health literacy and sustainable use of local resources. Replication in other regions with cultural adaptation is recommended. This study demonstrates that collaborative, evidence-based, and sustainable community service can be a powerful mechanism for improving public health and microeconomic resilience.
