Abstract

Kampung Madu in Kediri Regency has been known as a center of beekeeping activities since the 1980s. However, most honey MSMEs still face limitations in business legality, halal certification readiness, and product branding, which hinder their access to wider markets and government empowerment programs. This community service program aimed to strengthen the business capacity of honey MSMEs through business legalization assistance and the development of a collective visual identity. The program was implemented from October 2025 to January 2026 through socialization, workshops, mentoring, participatory logo design, and evaluation activities involving 30 MSME partners. The results showed that 23 MSMEs successfully obtained a Business Identification Number (NIB), while 10 MSMEs completed the required documents for halal certification submission. In addition, a collective logo for Kampung Madu was successfully developed as a shared branding identity. Participants also demonstrated improved understanding of business legality and branding after participating in the program. These outcomes contributed to strengthening the legal and branding foundations of Kampung Madu MSMEs, thereby supporting broader market access and encouraging the sustainability of local honey-based businesses.

Abstract

Limited access to technology-based learning facilities remains a challenge for border-area schools in improving students' digital literacy. This community service program aimed to implement an Internet of Things (IoT)-based technology literacy module as an appropriate technology solution for extracurricular activities at SMA Negeri 2 Sekayam, West Kalimantan. The program addressed two main partner problems: the absence of a dedicated IoT learning resource and the limited readiness of teachers and students to conduct IoT-based learning. The activity involved 10 teacher representatives and 20 twelfth-grade students and was carried out through needs identification, module and kit development, teacher training, student IoT introduction, and evaluation. The outputs consisted of one IoT module, one supporting kit using ESP32, LED, buzzer, and relay components, and a structured extracurricular learning scenario. Quantitative evaluation using pre-test and post-test questionnaires showed that the teacher satisfaction index increased from 40.0 to 78.3 percent, while the student index increased from 37.5 to 85.0 percent. These results indicate that the program provided practical learning resources and improved the partner's readiness to continue technology-based extracurricular learning.

Abstract

Teachers in Islamic boarding school settings, such as SMPI Sabilurrosyad, face complex challenges in addressing students’ academic and psychosocial needs. In addition to supporting students’ achievement in formal and Islamic subjects, teachers are also responsible for cultivating moral character. Group counseling is an important competency that enables teachers to support students in dealing with developmental, emotional, academic, and social concerns. This community service program aimed to strengthen teachers’ understanding and ability to apply basic group counseling skills. The program was implemented through structured counseling training that covered key concepts of group counseling, its stages, and practical role-play activities. Teachers actively participated in experiential learning sessions designed to build confidence and readiness to apply counseling skills in the school context. The findings indicate an improvement in teachers’ counseling self-efficacy, although the change was not statistically significant. Participants’ reflections showed that the training helped clarify the group counseling process and increased their confidence in applying these skills to support students. This community service program contributes to strengthening counseling literacy among teachers and offers a potential model for sustainable group counseling capacity building in Islamic boarding school-based educational institutions.

Abstract

The Integration of Primary Health Care (ILP) requires posyandu cadres to be competent in delivering life-course–based health services. In Tawang Village, Weru Subdistrict, Sukoharjo Regency, none of the posyandu cadres had received ILP training, so no posyandu in the village was able to operate ILP-standard services. This community service program aimed to improve the knowledge and basic skills of Tawang Village posyandu cadres so that they are prepared to deliver ILP-standard posyandu services. The program involved 37 cadres from five posyandu and was carried out in three stages: ILP education, mentoring of ILP service practice using the five-table system, and evaluation of cadre knowledge and basic skills. The cadres' knowledge was already good before the activity (median 92) and became higher and more uniform afterwards (median 96), with a statistically significant difference (p = 0.013). Skill mapping showed that 37.9 percent of cadres reached the “utama” (advanced) category, 29.7 percent “madya” (intermediate), and 32.4 percent “purwa” (novice), revealing skill gaps between posyandu. As an impact, the activity produced a cadre competency map that enables the village midwife and Weru Public Health Center to provide targeted mentoring so that all five posyandu in Tawang Village can meet ILP service standards. Tiered mentoring is recommended, prioritising posyandu with a high proportion of basic-level cadres.

Abstract

Pearl lobsters (Panulirus ornatus) are widely cultivated in coastal areas of Indonesia, including in Ohoidertom Village, Southeast Maluku. However, organism health management greatly affects lobster cultivation, especially in terms of disease prevention and treatment. The objective of the community service activity was to increase the knowledge and understanding of the Sevav Ratut Group about the prevention of pearl lobster diseases using synbiotic feed. The method used was a participatory method through presentations and hands-on practice, including the preparation, implementation, assistance, and evaluation stages. During the implementation stage, the partners directly practised making synbiotic feed from papaya leaves and yoghurt. The feed was then applied to pearl lobsters. During the socialisation and training activities, participants showed a desire to develop. This was demonstrated by their attendance, participation in discussions, and involvement in activities, from instructions on making herbal synbiotic feed to feeding it to cultivated pearl lobsters. The evaluation results showed that participants had a better understanding of the material provided. This was also supported by the active involvement of participants during the discussion sessions and the practical session on making herbal synbiotics. The average score of participants before the test was 37, while their average score after the test increased to 92. This increase indicates that the training activities can enhance participants' understanding of the concept of probiotics.

Abstract

This community service program aimed to enhance the capacity of dried bamboo shoot micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) through product packaging development and digital promotion assistance. The program was conducted in Bokak Sebumbun Village, Sekadau Hilir District, Sekadau Regency, involving 12 MSME participants. The main challenges faced by the participants included the use of simple packaging without product identity and the limited utilization of digital media for product promotion. The program was implemented through a needs assessment, product packaging design training, and hands-on assistance in using WhatsApp Business with participants’ own smartphones. The results showed that participants successfully developed more informative product packaging by adding product labels, created digital product catalogs, promoted products through digital media, and utilized WhatsApp Business as a communication platform with customers. Evaluation results indicated an increase in the number of participants using WhatsApp Business for product promotion from 2 to 10 participants. In addition, the average pre-test score increased from 1.8 to 4.2 after the training and mentoring activities. The program contributed positively to improving participants' knowledge and practical skills in product packaging development and digital promotion, thereby supporting the marketing capacity and competitiveness of dried bamboo shoot MSMEs.
