This disaster caused extensive infrastructure damage, destroying homes, public facilities, and educational facilities. In addition to physical losses, the disaster also had a significant impact on the social, psychological, and economic aspects of the community. This situation demands integrated and comprehensive interventions so that the community can recover quickly and return to optimal social functions.

This study uses qualitative methods with a descriptive approach that aims to describe the implementation process of the empowerment program in Cugenang District. The results show that approximately 51 beneficiaries received economic business capital assistance.

Abstract

Based on data from BP2MI (2024), Indonesian Migrant Workers (PMI) are predominantly women, comprising 68% of the total. This gender composition has led to a shift in traditional family structures, particularly through the exchange of roles, where wives work abroad while husbands take on domestic responsibilities. This creates a new dynamic in the household with dual and reversed gender roles.This study focuses on husbands of Indonesian migrant workers who have assumed the role of economic educators and financial managers in the family, especially concerning their children's welfare. The research was conducted in Sumbermanjing Wetan District, Malang Regency, with a qualitative method using a phenomenological approach.The study explores several key areas: the family's economic condition, the internalization of economic education in daily life, the husband’s financial management practices, and the perceived impact of this education on children. Findings show that the families' economic conditions are generally unstable and heavily reliant on remittances from the wives. Economic education internalized within the household includes lessons on saving, managing pocket money independently, and practicing wise and frugal consumption—positively influencing the children’s behavior. However, the study reveals that financial management lacks a structured foundation. There is little evidence of proper financial planning, control, utilization, or evaluation. As a result, despite the positive efforts in informal financial education, the overall family financial system remains vulnerable and unsustainable in the long term.
