<![CDATA[This regional community service program seeks to empower Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in the Semarang sub-districts of Meteseh and Tembalang by integrating clean energy solutions and smart technology. Meteseh faces significant challenges with plastic waste management, while Tembalang struggles with maintaining a stable energy supply for its MSMEs. To address these issues, the project introduced a solar-powered smart plastic waste shredding machine in Meteseh and a solar panel monitoring system in Tembalang. The shredding machine reduced unmanaged plastic waste by approximately 65%, enabling the processing of up to 15 kg of plastic per hour, while promoting recycling and environmental sustainability. In Tembalang, the solar energy system increased the operational hours of MSMEs’ craft production by 6–8 hours per day, resulting in a 100% increase in production capacity and a 30% reduction in operational energy costs. These initiatives have enhanced MSMEs’ productivity, sustainability, and resilience while fostering socio-cultural transformation and green economic awareness within the communities. The program demonstrates the measurable and transformative potential of clean energy and smart technology in regional development, offering a scalable and replicable model for sustainable economic growth across Indonesia and beyond.]]>

<![CDATA[The main challenge faced by the Karang Bunga Village community is the low price of Siam Banjar oranges during the harvest season, which negatively affects the farmers' economy. To address this issue, it is necessary to diversify processed citrus products as part of the Citrus House business unit managed by the Village-Owned Enterprise (BUMDes) "Berkah Bersama." This Community Service activity utilized the “service learning” method to train students in leadership skills through hands-on community empowerment efforts. One of the main focuses of the community service activity was developing an ice cream product made from Siam Banjar oranges, covering aspects such as production, packaging, and marketing. The results of the community service activity showed an increase in community skills and knowledge, with an average score of 2.99, indicating that the level of knowledge and skills falls within the "good" category. However, there are still challenges in the areas of packaging and marketing. The average score for the evaluation of the activity implementation was 3.42 (good category), and the average score for the resulting ice cream product was 3.13 (also in the good category). This activity is expected to improve product quality, expand market reach, and ultimately have a positive impact on the income of the village community.]]>

<![CDATA[Safety education for elementary school students is essential for preparing them for emergencies and preventing casualties. However, SD Ummu Aiman, an elementary school in Malang with 653 students, was inadequately equipped in terms of both infrastructure and knowledge to respond effectively in emergencies. This community service initiative aimed to enhance the school’s emergency preparedness and evacuation system by providing evacuation infrastructure, conducting awareness training, simulating emergency drills, and promoting a safety culture through safety induction aimed at fostering behaviour-based safety. The awareness training resulted in an average increase in knowledge of 15.1 points among 53 teachers (p-value < 0.001), and evacuations were completed in under three minutes. It is anticipated that the knowledge and skills transferred to the teachers will be conveyed to the students, who are crucial for developing readiness for emergencies and fostering a safety-minded society in the future.]]>

<![CDATA[This study explores the application of digital financial systems grounded in ISAK 35 to enhance accountability and governance within the RW 02 community in Kelurahan Kalisari, Surabaya. The program employed a Community-Based Research (CBR) methodology to rectify inefficiencies in manual financial reporting by implementing a digitalized system, concurrently including stakeholders in a participatory framework. The project produced substantial results, such as heightened community trust, improved decision-making via precise financial reporting, and augmented donor confidence in fund management. Nonetheless, obstacles such as disparate digital literacy levels and the maintenance of prolonged involvement surfaced, underscoring the necessity for intuitive solutions and specialized capacity-building initiatives. By incorporating lessons learned into academic curricula and utilizing participatory monitoring and evaluation, the initiative connected theory with practice. This effort provides critical insights for policymakers and practitioners, highlighting the significance of transparency, community empowerment, and scalable solutions in financial governance. Subsequent study must concentrate on guaranteeing sustainability and investigating the applicability of analogous systems in various circumstances. The project produced substantial results, such as heightened community trust, refined decision-making via precise financial reporting, and augmented donor confidence in fund administration.]]>

<![CDATA[As the phenomenon of Indonesian students studying abroad increases, the number of concerns of Indonesian students in facing the challenges of financial management while studying abroad also increases. That is why proper and correct financial management is needed. Amānāh finance is financial management both individually and institutionally based on the values of Amānāh in order to realize blessings. The purpose of the community service program is to socialize personal financial management while studying in Egypt. The target of this community service program is Indonesian students who are studying in Egypt. The method used is to conduct training or workshops on personal financial management based on the values of Amānāh . The training begins with a pre-test before delivering the socialization material about Amānāh finance. The pre-test is to see the extent of the training participants' understanding of Amānāh financial management. The training ends with a post-test, to see the increase in understanding after being given socialization and training related to Amānāh finance. The results of community service show an increase in students' understanding of financial management material based on Amānāh values. This can be seen from the results of the pre-test and post-test of students who have increased. When the pre-test was carried out on the questions given, the correctness value obtained ranged from 70% - 80%, and after being given the material and a post-test was held, the value increased to 95% - 100%.]]>

<![CDATA[This community service initiative aims to enhance the financial literacy of millennial MSME actors in Lampung through targeted cash management training and assistance. The primary objective is to equip participants with essential financial skills, enabling them to make informed decisions and improve their business sustainability. Utilizing the Participatory Action Research (PAR) method, the program engages participants in a collaborative learning process, fostering ownership and relevance in the training content. Results indicate a significant improvement in participants' understanding of cash flow management, budgeting, and financial planning. Pre- and post-training assessments revealed a marked increase in financial literacy scores, demonstrating the effectiveness of the training. Additionally, participants reported increased confidence in managing their finances and making strategic business decisions. However, the initiative faced practical limitations, including varying levels of initial financial knowledge among participants and limited access to financial resources. Theoretical limitations include the challenge of measuring long-term impacts on business performance and financial stability. Despite these challenges, the program highlights the importance of tailored financial education for millennial MSME actors, contributing to their empowerment and the overall economic development of the Lampung region. Future efforts should focus on sustaining financial literacy initiatives and addressing resource accessibility to maximize impact.]]>

<![CDATA[This systematic literature review explores the application and efficacy of virtual reality as a tool for teaching and improving skills in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Considering the heterogeneity of ASD and the importance of early intervention, it is imperative to identify effective, innovative therapeutic approaches. A comprehensive search of existing literature and research databases, including PubMed, PsycINFO, IEEE Xplore, Scopus and EBSCOhost, was undertaken, and 704 articles were identified as relevant. We evaluated these studies, establishing their eligibility, and eight met the inclusion criteria. This review synthesised studies highlighting the potential of virtual reality to address the unique needs of individuals with ASD, including social skills training, emotional and cognitive development and the management of specific phobias. It reveals how virtual reality simulations offer a safe and controlled environment for practice and learning, supporting the development of essential skills for social interaction and daily functioning. With its structured and individualised approach, virtual reality technology emerges as a promising intervention that caters to the diverse requirements of the ASD population. The review calls for further research to optimise virtual reality tools for broader clinical applications, aiming for more inclusive and accessible interventions for individuals with ASD.]]>

<![CDATA[Tanjungan Village in Mojokerto Regency has an ecotourism area consisting of a reservoir and a forest, which has not been optimally utilized. The local community also faces limitations in managing their health independently. This community empowerment program aims to enhance health self-sufficiency through the development of a family medicinal plants (TOGA) showcase at Tanjungan Ecotourism. The program involves guidance on designing the layout of the showcase, medicinal plant cultivation techniques, and the implementation of a sprinkler irrigation system to improve water use efficiency. The results indicate a 17% increase in the community’s knowledge and improved skills in planting and maintaining medicinal plants. Additionally, the use of sprinkler irrigation has reduced water consumption by up to 30%, significantly enhancing plant growth. In addition to providing health benefits, the presence of the TOGA showcase also has the potential to boost the village’s tourism appeal. Therefore, the sustainability of this program needs to be maintained through the optimization of medicinal plant utilization and further assistance in post-harvest processing.]]>

<![CDATA[The existence of 133 cases of Children in Conflict with Law (ABH) in Jember Regency from 2023-March 2025 shows the need for serious handling involving various parties. So far, the Nurul Huda Correctional Care Community Group (Pokmas Lipas) has taken part in overcoming the very complex problem of ABH. Still, the participation cannot be maximized because the Pokmas Lipas has limitations. Keris WeSave as one of the elements of society from the academic element also took a role in this matter, starting with identifying urgent issues to be overcome, identifying the potential of ABH and Pokmas Lipas, identifying stakeholders who are willing to collaborate. From the problems identified, WeSave intervened in the form of social advocacy for ABH through FGD to build a social network with stakeholders and active learning methods for digital marketing training for ABH.
