<![CDATA[This study aims to examine the impact of the Family Hope Program (Program Keluarga Harapan/PKH) on the welfare of the community in Ransiki Village, Ransiki District, South Manokwari Regency, West Papua. The study employed a qualitative method with a descriptive approach and a case study design. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The informants consisted of one PKH facilitator and six beneficiary families. The findings show that PKH has a positive impact, particularly in supporting the fulfillment of beneficiaries' basic economic needs. The assistance is mainly used for food and household needs and helps reduce household expenditure, although it does not fully cover all family needs. In education, several beneficiaries reported that their children became more diligent in attending school after receiving PKH. In contrast, the health impact remains suboptimal because most beneficiaries do not conduct routine health examinations and tend to seek health services only when they are ill. Another important finding is that PKH assistance activities are not conducted routinely; the facilitator is mainly involved during data collection and aid distribution, while training and economic empowerment activities have not been provided to the interviewed beneficiaries. Therefore, PKH provides tangible benefits as short-term welfare support, but stronger assistance, health education, and integration with economic empowerment are needed to make the benefits more sustainable.]]>
