Abstract

Indonesian migrants in Malaysia face significant economic vulnerability due to low and unstable incomes, limited access to formal financial services, and insufficient financial literacy. These conditions often lead to poor money management, debt dependency, and lack of long-term financial planning. This community service program aimed to enhance the financial literacy of Indonesian migrants in Malaysia as a strategy to strengthen their economic independence. Using the Participatory Action Research (PAR) method, the program involved migrants as active partners in identifying financial challenges, designing relevant training, and implementing practical solutions. Activities included daily financial management workshops, budgeting simulations, and introductions to simple financial applications. Conducted in Kuala Lumpur over eight months, the program reached participants from various informal sectors. The results showed increased participants’ ability to record expenses, plan budgets, set savings goals, and encourage productive financial practices within their families. The initiative also fostered awareness of the benefits of formal financial services. In conclusion, improving financial literacy through a participatory approach can serve as an effective catalyst for empowering migrants to achieve sustainable economic independence.

Abstract

The division of inheritance in Islam, known as faraid, has detailed legal rules and aims to maintain justice and harmony in the family. However, the low public literacy of this system often causes conflicts and inequality in the distribution of inheritance. This research aims to improve public understanding of faraid law through a systematic educational approach. The method used is qualitative descriptive with a field study approach based on extension activities.  The results showed that the public's understanding of the concept of faraid increased significantly after educational interventions, which was characterized by increased awareness of inheritance rights and reduced potential for family conflicts. These findings indicate that good faraid literacy not only strengthens the equitable application of Islamic law, but also contributes to the long-term well-being and harmony of the family. Education on faraid law systematically and based on counseling has proven to be effective in increasing public understanding, reducing potential inheritance conflicts, and strengthening the application of justice values in Islamic law. Therefore, faraidh literacy needs to be integrated into religious and social programs to support family harmony and welfare.

Abstract

Drawing training for children is an enjoyable and creative activity, yet it is often overlooked in today's digital era. This background issue arises from the fact that many children prefer to play with gadgets rather than engage in artistic activities that can enhance their motor skills and creativity. The objective of this training is to provide a fun and educational drawing experience, allowing children to express themselves through abstract art and color exploration. The training methods employed include a free and unstructured approach, color games, and emotion & imagination-based activities, which encourage children to create without limitations. The conclusion of this training indicates that drawing activities not only improve children's artistic skills but also awaken their aesthetic sensitivity and motor creativity, making art an essential medium for holistic development amidst the challenges of the modern world.

Abstract

The School Literacy Movement in Penujak Village, Central Lombok Regency, is discussed in this article. The goal is to increase children's literacy and reading interest in seven Elementary Education Schools (SD) in the Penujak Village Cluster, the target of this socialization is Principal and Teachers, as well as village libraries in the community are all involved in creating a sustainable literacy culture through a participatory approach and collaboration of this activity. This service was carried out with a work shop model socializing the school Literacy Movement with resource persons from lecturers, practitioners and village library managers. The basis for this community service is to see the achievement of literacy and numeracy indicators on the last two years of education report cards which show that several schools have experienced a decrease in achievement. These findings show that the implementation of literacy and numeracy programs needs to increase the involvement of the community and parents as well as village libraries in education while improving students' reading skills. The obstacles that must be overcome include problems such as lack of resources and infrastructure as well as collaboration between stakeholders. To strengthen the literacy and numeracy movement in hamlets, this article suggests that additional assistance with facilities and infrastructure is needed from the government, village libraries, and other non-governmental organizations.

Abstract

This community service program was implemented in Secanggang Village, Langkat Regency, at the eastern tip of Sumatra, a region renowned for its rich Malay traditions. The initiative aimed to preserve and promote local wisdom by producing an English-language short film, while simultaneously enhancing the English proficiency and acting skills of the younger generation. Using a participatory, training-based approach, participants received practical instruction in English communication and performance, which they applied directly in film production. Supported by Arti Studio Creative Network, the program encompassed language training, acting workshops, and technical assistance in filmmaking. The 28-minute film highlighted key aspects of Malay culture, including the historical Datuk Secanggang House, the Tepak Sirih Dance, and traditional culinary practices, thereby blending cultural documentation with global communication. Evaluation results indicated notable improvements in participants’ speaking confidence, acting ability, and cultural awareness. Beyond functioning as a work of visual art, the film served as a medium for language education, cultural preservation, and community empowerment. This activity demonstrates that local traditions can be creatively sustained through the integration of international languages and film. Future efforts should focus on sustained film production, broader community engagement, and optimized digital dissemination to ensure Malay cultural heritage from North Sumatra reaches a global audience.

Abstract

The philanthropic movement in Indonesia has undergone significant changes with the emergence of organisations such as Sedekah Rombongan (SR), which utilises digital technology and religious values in its operations. SR was born from grassroots initiatives and developed into an organisation with significant impact. This study aims to analyse the role of SR in empowering marginalised communities, with a focus on the operational model that integrates survey, benefit, and assistance. A descriptive qualitative method was used to explore the experiences and views of volunteers and beneficiaries. Data was collected through direct interviews with SR administrators and beneficiaries who have participated in the program for more than three months. The research also observed how SR uses social media to raise funds and build awareness about philanthropy. The results show that the SR model not only provides material assistance but also mentors beneficiaries on an ongoing basis. A rigorous survey process ensures aid is channelled to those truly in need, while transparency and accountability build trust between donors and beneficiaries. In addition, mentoring has a significant positive impact on beneficiaries, creating sustainable social change. Despite its many successes, SR faces challenges in terms of resource management and limited access in remote areas. This research identified the need to improve monitoring and evaluation systems and strengthen training for volunteers to ensure quality service delivery. SR needs to continue innovating in the management and distribution of aid to maintain the program's sustainability. Based on the results obtained, it is recommended that SR increase collaboration with the government and other organisations to expand the program's reach and strengthen policy advocacy. This will result in greater impact in community empowerment. The utilisation of blockchain technology and artificial intelligence (AI) can also improve the efficiency and transparency of SR operations. With a collaborative approach involving all stakeholders, SR can continue to function as an adaptive and sustainable philanthropy model. This research is expected to contribute to a deeper understanding of the practice of community-based philanthropy in Indonesia. SR can be a role model for other philanthropic organisations.
