Abstract

Background: Female-headed households in marginalized communities face complex challenges in understanding Islamic law and managing family economics, impacting household resilience and welfare. Purpose of the Study: This community service aims to enhance Islamic legal literacy and strengthen sharia-based economic capacity through local asset optimization. Methods: Using the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach, this participatory action research involved field observation, interviews, and FGDs with 30 PEKKA in Wedi Village, Bojonegoro. Results: The program successfully identified three key asset clusters: social (pengajian groups), cultural (Islamic values), and economic (culinary, sewing, farming skills). ABCD strategy activated these assets, leading to the formation of the “Srikandi Salak” business group and multidimensional transformation.

Abstract

Background: This study addresses the critical social issue of violence and bullying within Islamic educational institutions. It focuses on the role and potential of senior santri (students) as peer mentors in Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) in Kediri, Indonesia, to act as agents of peace and change. Purpose of the Study: The purpose is to examine how values grounded in education and empathy can mitigate violence, specifically through the peer mentoring practices of senior santri. The objective is to understand the nature of this mentorship to inform the development of a community-based violence prevention model. Methods: This community service program (Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat - PkM) employs a participatory action research (PAR) approach and a qualitative phenomenological design. The method involved collaborative engagement with ten senior santri through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Data were analyzed using the Moustakas phenomenological method. Results: The analysis identified seven core themes defining the mentorship, including its role as moral leadership, a shift from authority to empathy, and its function as a reflective, spiritual practice for violence prevention. The findings position peer mentorship as a foundational element for humanistic education (tarbiyah Islamiyah) and provide a basis for developing ethical training models to foster safe, non-violent educational environments.

Abstract

Background: The increasing elderly population presents a challenge in meeting their psychosocial and spiritual needs. Learning the Quran in later life is often hindered by methods that are not age-friendly, leading to social isolation and reduced spiritual well-being. Purpose of the Study: This program was designed to implement a Religious Experience Learning (REL) approach to address three core issues: developing a suitable pedagogical method, enhancing access and participation through effective mentoring, and ultimately strengthening the spiritual wellness of elderly participants. Methods: The program employed a Service Learning methodology, structured in three stages: preparation, implementation (participatory REL-based learning, and reflection. The REL framework integrated technical (Bagdadi method), reflective (contextual hermeneutics), and spiritual (contemplative practice) dimensions. Results: The program achieved holistic transformation. Methodologically, a shift to humanistic approaches created a psychological safety and increased intrinsic motivation. Socially, a multi-generational community and empathetic mentoring reduced isolation. The primary outcome was enhanced spiritual wellness, evidenced by the personalization of worship, internalization of Quranic values as a life framework, and the achievement of eudaimonic well-being marked by inner peace (sakinah), self-acceptance, and a profound sense of meaning in life.

Abstract

Background: Female heads of households in rural areas face economic vulnerability due to limited access to productive resources and high dependence on household food expenditures. In rural households, the potential of kitchen waste and yard land has not been managed in an integrated manner. Purpose of the Study: This article aims to analyze the implementation of a community service program based on a circular economy through the integration of native chicken (layer) farming, kitchen waste management, and micro-vegetable gardens for female heads of households. Methods: The community service program used a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, involving participants as active subjects in problem identification, action planning, implementation, and reflection. Data was collected through participatory observation, FGDs, interviews, questionnaires, and production records. Results: The results showed a Hen Day Production rate of 70–80%, additional income of Rp 180,000–Rp 390,000 per month, and savings on vegetable purchases of Rp 40,000–Rp 60,000 per month. The integration of activities formed a circular economy flow that strengthened household economic and food resilience.
