Abstract

Pematang Johar Village generates organic waste from household and agricultural activities, including fruit and vegetable residues that have not yet been optimally utilized. This community service program aimed to improve community knowledge and strengthen participants’ interest in managing organic waste through eco-enzyme production training. The activity was conducted on 14 May 2024 and involved 38 participants, consisting of housewives and farmers. A participatory approach was employed through socialization, discussion, demonstration, and hands-on practice. The activity was evaluated using a one-group pretest–posttest design, with questionnaires administered before and after the training, and the data were analyzed descriptively. The evaluation results showed that participants’ knowledge of the definition and production process of eco-enzyme increased from 5.3–21.1% before the training to 100% after the training. Participants’ interest in utilizing eco-enzyme, which was already relatively high at baseline, also increased from 86.8% to 100%. These findings indicate that the training reduced the technical knowledge gap and strengthened participants’ interest in utilizing organic waste. The activity highlights that the application of simple, locally based technology, combined with a participatory approach, can support community empowerment and organic waste management at the source.

Abstract

Improving public health, including among early childhood populations, is an essential component of national development that aims to enhance awareness, willingness, and capacity to adopt healthy lifestyles, thereby achieving optimal health and well-being. One practical approach to achieving this goal is through educational interventions in elementary schools. This community service activity at Medan 068003 Public Elementary School implemented an educational program introducing fermented foods and Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (CHLB) to strengthen student’s knowledge, awareness, and daily health practices. The program used educational methods such as animated video presentations, pre- and post-tests, and interactive discussions. Materials covered the benefits and preparation of fermented foods, as well as the importance of CHLB implementation within the school environment. Students practiced proper handwashing and toothbrushing techniques. Additionally, “little doctors” were trained wound cleaning, managing nosebleeds, and measuring body temperature and blood pressure. The community service team also donated School Health Unit (SHU) equipment, including a bed, weighing and height scales, a thermometer, first aid kits, and a sphygmomanometer. The outcomes showed an increase in students’ knowledge of fermented foods from 63.57% to 85.14% and CHLB from 63.95% to 89.07%, demonstrating the effectiveness of this educational intervention.
