Abstract

This Community Service (PKM) aims to improve the digital skills of MSME actors in rural areas, especially in online marketing, through online training using the Zoom platform. This activity is motivated by the low digital skills of MSMEs in rural areas, which limits their access to the digital market. The method used is participatory action research (PAR), involving 30 MSME actors who are selected by purposive sampling. The training lasts four weeks and includes two weekly sessions, covering material on digital marketing, the use of social media, e-commerce, and marketing performance monitoring. The results showed a significant improvement in participants' digital skills, with an average pre-test score of 45 increasing to 80 on the post-test. Implementing the skills learned also resulted in an increase in engagement on social media by 40% and an increase in online transactions by 20%-30%. Participants gave positive feedback regarding the relevance of the training and the application of the skills taught. This activity fills the gap in previous research by focusing on practical strategies adapted to the conditions of MSMEs in rural areas. The main obstacle faced is the problem of internet connectivity, which needs to be considered in the next training. Overall, this activity has succeeded in increasing the competitiveness of MSMEs in the digital market

The quality of teachers, availability of books, and other facilities and infrastructure are still very minimal.

Abstract

Bees are honey-producing insects from the genus apis. In addition to honey, bees also produce pollen, royal jelly, propolis, beeswax and bee venom. Honey products that are widely found in Indonesia come from local honey bees, superior bees, wild bees, and lanceng bees. The high demand has driven up the price of honey bee products. Propolis has various health benefits such as containing high antioxidants and phenols, so it has the potential to cure various diseases such as toothache, influenza, diabetes mellitus, tuberculosis, and others. The purpose of this community service is to provide assistance to students regarding environmental awareness of honey bee cultivation at the Pattimura University Laboratory Middle School, Ambon and to increase the capacity of teachers in understanding the concept of environmental awareness of honey bee cultivation.

Abstract

Maluku as an archipelago region contains cultural richness from various aspects by its indigenous people, especially local languages ​​which are a means of conveying thoughts and ideas. Local languages ​​themselves have institutionalized identity values ​​within the indigenous people who adhere to them because reality shows that the language in question confirms its origin. The difficulty is the inability of society to adapt to the development of globalization without ignoring regional languages ​​as local wisdom and identity. Of course this shows a shift to the point of language extinction, the existence of indigenous countries is also threatened due to the loss of identity as a marker of their identity. From the description of the reality of this indigenous community, strategic steps need to be taken, namely consolidating the local language (Alune) of Lohiatala Country which in the past was used to interact by ancestors into written form, this is because in the present it is generally unknown to the younger generation or school-age children. Furthermore, it is followed up by writing a dictionary of local language vocabulary so that it can be studied by the community today and in the future. This activity will be carried out through one of the Tridharma of higher education, namely Community Service with a verification method (confirmation of the writing of the definition of the local language per vocabulary accompanied by its meaning in Indonesian) against the results of the search that has been carried out in 2023, and the publication of the dictionary book "Bahasa Alune Orang Lohiatala" with ISBN

In addition, participants' satisfaction with the training reached 85%, with a positive response to how the material was delivered and the relevance of the topic to the needs of the village community.

Abstract

Based on information provided by the Head of the Catfish Farming Village. The problem encountered in catfish farming villages during the breeding process after catfish farming is that many catfish seeds are eaten by bird pests at night, especially giant shrimp bird pests. According to the partners, the reduction could be up to 50-65% of the total amount of seeds added to the rearing pond. During a nighttime on-site investigation, it was discovered that the catfish pond area was not lit. Therefore, in this charitable activity, we try to provide a lighting solution for catfish ponds and repel kingfisher pests by using environmentally friendly energy, green energy, especially through the use of solar panels. The hope is to be able to reduce bird pests and not burden the partners with monthly electricity bills. From the results obtained in the field, it is known that the result the absence of lighting in the catfish pond area makes king prawn pests eat more catfish seeds than if lighting was provided using flicker flame LED lights and the installation of an off grid solar PV system was not burdensome catfish farmers regarding electricity bills used for lighting.

Abstract

Batik is a cultural heritage of the Indonesian nation that has been recognized by the world through recognition by UNESCO. The development of Bungo Batik began during the national event, Indonesia Fashion Craft in Makassar in 2002. The demand for Bungo Batik increases every year because it is supported by the policies of the Bungo Regency Regional Government. But on the one hand, the obstacle is precisely the craftsmen themselves who are not able to produce on a large scale. The partner in this activity is Batik Mulia which was established in 2021. The limited production capacity of Bungo batik is because the equipment used is still very simple, such as the use of waterglass in the manual batik dyeing process so that it is wasteful and immeasurable. In addition, partners also need training in management, entrepreneurship, branding strategies and the use of digital marketing. The method of implementing the activity begins with an agreement between the service team and partners to solve problems. The solution offered by the team to partners is the procurement of appropriate technological tools in the form of Roll Saving Water Glass machines and several trainings needed by partners. The success of this activity can be seen by several positive impacts from the savings or efficiency of the use of water glass in batik dyeing, increasing batik production, and improving partner skills in online promotion, creating marketing content and using digital marketing.

Abstract

The Financial Literacy Program for Housewives in Rubber Plantation Village aims to improve understanding and skills in family financial management, especially among housewives vulnerable to income fluctuations. This activity was conducted online through the Zoom application and attended by 50 housewives. The methods include three-month interactive training, group discussions, and post-training mentoring. The results of the initial Survey showed that most participants did not have a monthly budget plan (80%), did not save regularly (70%), and did not understand the importance of debt management and insurance (85%). After the training, there was a significant increase in understanding and practice of financial management. As many as 65% of participants started preparing a monthly budget, 55% saved regularly, and 45% understood how to manage debt wisely. Although there are challenges in implementing financial literacy, especially related to income instability, this program has proven effective in increasing awareness and financial management skills. The final Survey also showed increased awareness of the importance of emergency funds and long-term financial plans, although the percentage is still relatively low. With this program, it is hoped that housewives in rubber plantation villages can be more independent and resilient and manage family finances better amid economic uncertainty
