<![CDATA[This study analyzes the impact of the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program of PT Pani Gold Project on multidimensional poverty among the community in Hulawa Village, Buntulia Subdistrict, Pohuwato Regency, Gorontalo Province, with a focus on education. A descriptive qualitative method was used. Informants were determined through snowball sampling and comprised the CSR division of the Pani Gold Project and teachers from SDN 02, SDN 05, and SMPN 02 Buntulia. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation and analyzed using an interactive model consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The analysis used Julian Rappaport’s empowerment theory and the concept of multidimensional poverty. The findings show that CSR was implemented through the Community Development and Empowerment Program (PPM), consisting of eight pillars, with education as the most prominent area through school rehabilitation and the provision of educational facilities and infrastructure. The program created a safer and more comfortable learning environment, increased students’ learning motivation, supported teachers’ performance, and strengthened community trust and participation. In the multidimensional poverty framework, the program contributed to reducing deprivation in education and functioned as a community empowerment instrument. Strengthening is still needed in economic, health, and empowerment aspects so that benefits can be more comprehensive and sustainable.]]>
