Abstract

Rice husk waste is an abundant agricultural byproduct in Karang Langit Village, Lamongan, but its utilization is still limited, posing a potential environmental problem. This community service program aims to modernize agricultural practices by utilizing rice husk as a hydroponic growing medium to support food security and promote a circular economy. The methods applied include community coordination, carbonization of rice husks, preparation of the hydroponic system, and both theoretical and practical hands-on training. Evaluation results show a significant increase in participants’ knowledge by 32%. A total of 85% of participants successfully prepared a viable rice-husk-based growing medium, and 75% were able to cultivate and harvest leafy vegetables in the trial phase. Additionally, a farmer group was formed and is committed to independently continuing hydroponic practices after the program’s conclusion. These results confirm that utilizing rice husk as a hydroponic medium not only enhances community skills and self-sufficiency but also opens new economic opportunities. This model is recommended for replication in other agricultural areas to support local food security and environmental sustainability.

Abstract

The high unemployment rate in Nagari Sialang Gaung, reaching 30–40% of the productive-age population, poses a serious problem hindering community welfare. This situation is paradoxical given the significant opportunities in the motor vehicle service sector, driven by an estimated 10% annual increase in the number of motorcycles. Unfortunately, this market potential remains largely untapped due to the lack of technical and entrepreneurial skills among the unemployed youth. The Prodi and Nagari Integration Program (PIPN) Life Skill was established to bridge this gap with a dual objective, enhancing motorcycle mechanic competence and fostering entrepreneurship through hands-on practice. The program was comprehensively designed, encompassing needs analysis, development of a curriculum based on local potential, technical training (covering both conventional and EFI injection systems), instruction in workshop management, and post-training business mentoring. Program results indicate a significant increase in participant competence, with 85% demonstrating the ability to perform repairs independently and 30% having successfully initiated small-scale repair businesses. This success underscores the critical importance of synergy between universities and village governance in empowering communities based on sustainable local potential, thereby contributing directly to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Abstract

Farmer groups in Sidorejo Village, Blitar, face significant challenges characterized by the low added value of pineapple harvests and minimal innovation in post-harvest processing, including waste utilization. This community service project aimed to enhance the skills of partner groups in processing pineapple fruit and peel into economically valuable probiotic beverages using fermentation methods packaged attractively. The activity primarily involved the PKK women's group of Sidorejo Village and was conducted in-person. The methodology included education, direct demonstration of product creation, named Pinaboocha (pineapple kombucha) and Pinatepa (pineapple tepache), and packaging mentoring. Post-training evaluation revealed a significant increase in competence while 85% of participants understood the benefits of Pinaboocha and Pinatepa, and 85% expressed interest in developing these beverages into a business. These findings demonstrate that innovating the processing of pineapple fruit and waste through fermentation not only increases product quality but also successfully creates new, sustainable business opportunities based on local potential.

Abstract

Stunting is a critical public health issue characterized by linear growth in children below the normal standard, typically resulting from chronic malnutrition from the prenatal period up to the first two years of life. This community service program aimed to improve community knowledge regarding stunting prevention through balanced nutrition guidelines. The intervention utilized a social marketing approach employing flipchart media in Kabba Village, Pangkep Regency. The activity involved 25 participants (homemakers and community leaders) who attended interactive lectures facilitated by the flipchart media. The results demonstrate a significant knowledge gain: the proportion of participants categorized as having "good" knowledge increased from 52% in the pre-test to 84% in the post-test. The Wilcoxon test yielded a significance value of 0.003 (<0.005), indicating a statistically significant difference in knowledge before and after the intervention. The flipchart medium proved effective in delivering balanced nutrition material in a visually appealing and interactive manner, successfully enhancing participant understanding and fostering positive attitudes toward stunting prevention. Therefore, a social marketing approach leveraging interactive visual media can serve as a sustainable strategy for community health education programs, particularly for stunting prevention at the grassroots level.

Abstract

This community service activity aims to improve students’ knowledge, understanding, and social skills in preventing and handling bullying behavior in the school environment. The program was implemented at Darul Arqam Muhammadiyah Gombara Makassar Middle School, involving 30 female students as participants. The implementation method included interactive lectures, group discussions, role-play simulations, and evaluations using pre-test and post-test. The results of the activity showed significant improvements in aspects of knowledge about bullying, understanding of child protection rights, social skills, and proactive attitudes in preventing and reporting bullying cases. The average increase reached 18.25%, reflecting the success of the participatory training in building student awareness and positive attitudes. This activity is a first step toward realizing a school culture that is safe, inclusive, and supportive of the holistic development of students. The sustainability of the program through mentoring and cross-sector collaboration is recommended to ensure long-term impact in efforts to prevent bullying in the educational environment.
