The micro, small, and medium enterprises sector plays a vital role in the national economy, especially in creating jobs and increasing people's income. Based on this, the Community Service implementation team held training and outreach activities with the theme Empowering Financial Literacy in the Era of Digitalization 5.0 Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise Trade at the Bandung City Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

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

Abstract

The development and progress of the world towards the end of the 21st century has raised the issue of gender. This issue of gender has become a debate among many circles. Gender is a term used to describe the distinction between men and women. In a society that adheres to a patriarchal system, the economic function of the family is played by the husband as the head of the household, while the existence of a woman is identical to domestic work in the household. The pressure of economic needs is a real challenge that must be addressed by the family, including encouraging the role of women to help with the economic function of the household. When women work outside the home, especially as stone breakers, there is a shift in roles and functions that are certainly inherent in the understanding of women as part of their self-existence. Women stone breakers who work around the Balibe rock mountain are a group of women housewives who are poorly educated and have no skills. Economic pressure is the main reason they become stone breakers. This community service activity aims to provide innovation and education to groups of women farm workers in improving soft skills to improve quality, through counseling and training. The location of the community service activity is in Bonder Village, Praya Barat District, Central Lombok Regency-NTB. With partners of the Balibe stone labor group totaling 15 people. This activity is strongly supported by partners and all communities at the research location. The involvement of partners in this activity is in the training activities for making handicrafts from mining waste, partners collect stones that are unique in shape and can be formed as basic materials for making crafts. There are several crafts made, namely frames, flower vases, bamboo gazebos. In this activity, the equipment provided is in the form of stone-breaking business equipment including hammers, protective glasses, gloves, hammers and Japanese hats

Abstract

This community service aims to improve the understanding of students at RA Pondok Sholawat, Caruban, Madiun, East Java, about the Solar System through interactive learning media. Based on the initial observations, it was found that traditional learning methods cannot attract interest and improve students' understanding optimally. To overcome this problem, an intervention was carried out in the form of a grant for a set of touchscreen laptops and training teachers on using interactive learning media. The results showed an increase in the enthusiasm and involvement of students in the learning process and an increase in teacher competence in utilizing technology as a learning tool. This program created a more pleasant and effective learning atmosphere and positively impacted the quality of learning at RA Pondok Sholawat. Interactive learning media is expected to be an innovative model that can be applied in other educational institutions to improve students' understanding of scientific concepts from an early age.
