Abstract

The initiation of this community service was driven by the challenges faced by livestock farmers in Sikka Regency, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT). One of the main issues in small-scale livestock farming is the availability of feed, both in terms of quality and quantity. Although Sikka Regency has abundant agricultural byproducts, such as banana stems, cassava leaves and stems, and papaya leaves, these resources remain underutilized due to farmers’ limited knowledge and technical skills in processing them into livestock feed. The target group for this program are pig farmers. This community service program aims to support the production of livestock feed by maximizing the use of agricultural byproducts to ensure year-round availability. The implementation methods included extension activities, dissemination of fermentation technology, ration formulation, and guidance on feed production. The results demonstrate that farmers were able to produce livestock feed from banana stems using fermentation technology. The program enabled farmers to access a lower-cost alternative compared to commercial feed, priced at Rp 7,230 per kilogram based on the proposed ration formulation. This community service activity is expected to encourage farmers to further utilize locally available agricultural byproducts as feed resources.

Abstract

Limited digital literacy and restricted access to technology training remain major challenges for teachers in disadvantaged, remote, and outermost (3T) areas, particularly in supporting the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum. At SD Negeri Gudang Garam, Keerom Regency, most teachers had limited experience using Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools for administrative and instructional purposes. This community service program aimed to strengthen teachers’ digital competencies through practical training and mentoring in the use of AI-based applications for learning design and educational administration. The program involved 12 teachers and was implemented through needs identification, intensive hands-on training, mentoring, and evaluation activities. Teachers were introduced to AI tools such as ChatGPT and Canva AI to develop digital lesson plans, interactive visual media, and AI-assisted learning videos adapted to local classroom contexts. The results showed improvements in teachers’ understanding and practical skills in utilizing AI for instructional purposes. Teachers successfully produced adaptive digital lesson plans, visual learning materials, and instructional videos directly applicable in classroom activities. The program also increased teachers’ confidence and creativity in integrating digital technology into teaching despite limited infrastructure and unstable internet access. To support sustainability, offline learning modules and local teacher learning communities were strengthened to encourage continuous collaboration and independent learning after program completion

Abstract

Papaya represents one of the most abundant agricultural commodities in Dukuh Ceger, Linggasari Village, Banyumas Regency. However, its utilization remains limited to direct consumption, resulting in relatively low commercial value, particularly during harvest seasons. This community service program aimed to improve local communities by enhancing their capacity to process papaya into value-added food products. The program adopted a participatory approach through training, hands-on practice, mentoring, and evaluation. A total of 35 participated in the training, which focused on producing papaya candy, papaya chips, and papaya pudding. Pre-test and post-test assessments was conducted for evaluation, demonstrating a significant increase in participants’ understanding across several aspects, including processing techniques, product diversification, and commercial value. The results demonstrated various improvements, particularly 31 percent increase in product knowledge, 66 percent increase in understanding commercial value, 51 percent increase in processing skills, and 63 percent increase in perceived community benefits. In addition, 86 percent of participants actively engaged during the activities, and the average satisfaction score reached 4.64 on a 5-point scale. These findings demonstrate that the program effectively improved participants’ knowledge and practical skills, while also increasing awareness of papaya’s commercial value potential. The program contributes to strengthening community capacity and opens opportunities for developing sustainable, locally based business initiatives.

Abstract

Infant and toddler health remains one of the crucial indicators of public health. However, Nambo Village faced challenges due to parents' limited literacy regarding developmental delays and cadres' inadequate skills in early detection and pediatric stimulation. To address the issues, a community-based physiotherapy intervention was implemented started from June to October 2025. The program aimed to empower parents and optimize cadres' capacities through the establishment of the Sahabat Tumbuh Kembang (Child Development Companionship) community. The methodology included situational analysis, socialization, implementation, and evaluation, resulting a significant improvement in understanding developmental red flags, confirmed by an increase in average scores from 7.5 (pre-test) to 9.3 (post-test). Furthermore, the knowledge was practically applied through independent early screening targeted to five cadres and one village midwife on 30 toddlers. To ensure program sustainability, the Sahabat Tumbuh Kembang community was officially formed with six driving agents. This group currently synergizes with the local Bina Keluarga Balita (Early Childhood Family Development) program to conduct monthly basic motor development monitoring, effectively realizing independent community empowerment for a healthier generation.
