Abstract

The emergence of Social Welfare Problem Bearers (PMKS) indicates that society is facing complex issues. Therefore, the government provides rehabilitation programs in various regions, one of which is at the Special Protection Rehabilitation Social Institution for Children located in Ogan Ilir, South Sumatra. The institution currently accommodates 27 residents. For three months, the residents received hard skill training. However, based on observations, some residents still experience difficulties originating from themselves, such as self-control and difficulty in managing anger. Therefore, the team provided an intervention in the form of group counseling. The activities consist of three stages: (1) pretest, (2) counseling, and (3) posttest. The counseling session itself consists of five stages: (a) initial stage, (b) transition stage, (c) working stage, (d) termination stage, and (e) follow-up stage. Based on statistical data analysis using a paired sample t-test, it was found that there is a difference in scores before and after group counseling. This indicates that there is a change before and after group counseling.

Abstract

Indonesian Migrant Workers (PMI) in Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia, face limited access to formal healthcare services, thus heavily relying on herbal-based traditional medicine. Low literacy regarding the safe use of herbs potentially leads to misuse and negative interactions with modern medicine. This International Partnership Community Service (PkM-KI) activity aims to increase the knowledge and awareness of PMI and the community around the surau (Islamic prayer room) regarding the rational and evidence-based use of traditional medicine through a community-based educational approach. The program was conducted over three days through workshops, focus group discussions, and the distribution of bilingual Malay–Indonesian educational booklets containing an introduction to local medicinal plants, proper usage methods, and herbal safety aspects. The evaluation involved 24 respondents using a pre-test and post-test design to measure changes in participants' knowledge levels. Statistical analysis using the paired t-test revealed a highly significant increase in knowledge (p < 0.05), rising from 45.7% before the activity to 97.5% after the intervention. These findings indicate that the surau-based educational approach is effective as a contextual and sustainable medium for disseminating herbal health literacy. This activity not only strengthens PMI's understanding of safe traditional medicine use but also encourages the integration of local wisdom with modern pharmaceutical approaches. This program has the potential to serve as a cross-border community service model for improving herbal-based health literacy among migrant communities and local societies.

Abstract

Lack of knowledge and information; limited resources; the stigma of complicated procedures and lengthy application processes; and expensive financing are factors causing most micro and small enterprise (MSE) products in Situ Udik Village to not have distribution permits for Home Industry Food Production Certificates (SPP-IRT) and halal certification. This condition causes these MSE products to struggle to compete in the market and is limited in reaching a wider market. This community service program aims to determine the effect of providing training and assistance in processing SPP-IRT distribution permits and halal certification on increasing the knowledge and legality of MSE partner businesses in Situ Udik. This community service activity is carried out through several stages, including socialisation, training and assistance, and monitoring and evaluation stages. This community service activity was attended by 15 MSE partners in Situ Udik Village, Cibungbulang District, Bogor Regency. The results of this community service show that the provision of training and mentoring has been proved to significantly increase the knowledge of MSE partners as evidenced by an increase in the average pretest score (74.5%) compared to the posttest score (82.5%), and there are as many as 13 Situ Udik MSE partners who successfully obtained SPP-IRT distribution permit certificates and halal certificates. With this community service, it is hoped that it can help Situ Udik MSE actors in improving product quality and safety, so that they have competitiveness in the market and a wider market reach

Abstract

This community service activity aims to enhance the capacity of chili farmers in Pulau Negara Village through the implementation of precision agriculture technology and waste processing. The program focuses on the utilization of organic matter shredding machines and training in livestock feed silage production to address the low efficiency of crop waste management. This initiative involved 20 farmers and 5 extension agents, employing methods such as counseling, equipment demonstrations, practical training, and mentoring. The silage was produced using grass and chili plant residues, supplemented with bran, molasses, and EM4 through a two-week fermentation process. Evaluation using pre-test and post-test methods showed a significant increase in the participants' knowledge and skills. Understanding of precision agriculture increased from 30% to 85%, mastery of shredding machines rose from 20% to 90%, and silage-making proficiency improved from 15% to 88%. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of appropriate technology in fostering innovation and the integration of sustainable crop-livestock systems. These findings are expected to serve as a foundation for local governments in formulating farmer empowerment policies based on waste utilization and local technology.

Abstract

One form of community-based health service is Posyandu. Generally, Posyandu cadres are members of the community who do not have a background as medical or health professionals, so in the field, they often face various obstacles and limitations in providing health services. This community service activity was conducted in Musi Banyuasin Regency. A total of 72 Posyandu and nutrition post cadres from nine villages, namely Babat Supat, Babat Ramba Jaya, Sukamaju, Letang, Tri Tunggal, Pangkalan Tungkal, Simpang Tungkal, Mangsang, and Muara Merang villages. The methods used were assessment, material delivery (education), and practice or demonstration. The pre-test and post-test scores showed that this activity succeeded in increasing the knowledge and abilities of Posyandu and nutrition post cadres. Cadres gained a better understanding of using anthropometry and determining the nutritional status of pregnant women, infants, and toddlers. In addition, cadres also better understood and were able to practice preparing balanced nutritious menus for Supplementary Feeding (PMT) at the Posyandu.

Abstract

Smallholder oil palm plantations play an important role in supporting the economy of the community in Konawe Regency, particularly in the Besulutu and Pondidaha districts. The productivity of smallholder oil palms is often not optimal because most farmers still use cultivation techniques that do not meet standards. Therefore, the community service team of the Faculty of Agriculture, Halu Oleo University took the initiative to collaborate with the Faculty of Agriculture, Gadjah Mada University to carry out extension activities regarding Good Agricultural Practice (GAP) as an environmentally friendly, efficient, and sustainable cultivation approach. This activity aims to improve the understanding and skills of oil palm farmers in managing their plantations so that their harvests are of higher quality and more productive. The activity was carried out in a participatory manner through several stages. In the preparation stage, the team coordinated with stakeholders, identified farmers' needs, and prepared extension materials. The next stage was the extension itself, which consisted of material presentations, interactive discussions, and field visits. Next, the evaluation stage was carried out using pre-tests and post-tests to assess the increase in farmers' knowledge after participating in the activity. The evaluation results showed an increase in knowledge, with an average post-test score of 90 compared to a pre-test score of 54. These findings indicate that extension activities are effective in improving farmers’ understanding of GAP principles. However, the measurable impact of these activities is still limited to increased knowledge and does not yet include improved crop yields. Therefore, continued support is needed to encourage the implementation of GAP, which will have a positive impact on the productivity and sustainability of smallholder oil palm farming.

Abstract

The utilization of the internet has undergone significant transformation,  particularly in relation to changes in digitalization-based transaction techniques. These techniques have been rapidly adopted by business actors and effectively utilized to understand and develop markets through the use of business applications. Although business applications are not unfamiliar methods, many business actors still do not fully understand them and are not skilled in utilising them in conducting daily transactions. One such group consists of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSEMs/UMKM) that are members of the Nasyiatul 'Aisyiyah Entrepreneurs Association (APUNA)  under the coordination of the Nasyiatul 'Aisyiyah Regional Leadership (PD NA) in Palembang City. Therefore, mentoring activities on the use of digital business applications, particularly sales applications, were carried out for APUNA members. The method used in this community service activity involved the delivery of theoretical materials followed by practical mentoring through four stages: (1) a survey to identify business constraints (revealing a strong need for digital marketing training), (2) socialization covering concepts and practices of business digitalization, (3) discussion to ensure shared understanding, and (4) hands-on practice in using sales applications. The results show that this mentoring activity improved APUNA members' skills in using sales applications increasing from 11.8% to 58.8%.

Abstract

The purpose of this community service activity is to improve the knowledge and skills of the PKK group mothers in Plaju Darat Village, Palembang City in conducting simple bookkeeping and determining the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) for processed catfish products. The absence of systematic financial records and the determination of selling prices that are still based on estimates without considering the overall production costs are the main problems faced. Participatory Action Research (PAR) was used, using simple quantitative and qualitative approaches through observation, training, practice, and interactive discussion phases. This activity involved 20 participants, and evaluation was carried out through pre-tests and post-tests to measure the level of participants' understanding. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in understanding; the pre-test score increased by an average of 51.5 to 86, and the post-test score increased by an average of 34.5 points. Participants also showed improved skills in simple financial recording and calculating COGS. This activity increased participants' knowledge on how to manage business finances and determine reasonable selling prices. Therefore, the training in simple bookkeeping and COGS calculation has proven effective in improving the capabilities of catfish-based MSMEs.

Abstract

The increase in waste volume remains a global environmental issue influenced by population growth, societal consumption patterns, and low awareness of waste management, including within primary school environments—a sector that plays a key role in instilling environmental awareness from an early age. This community service initiative aims to implement the Zero Waste School concept through training in compost production and vertical gardening at SDN Meat, Toba Regency, North Sumatra Province. The activity was carried out on 25–26 August 2025, involving 30 pupils using an educational-participatory approach comprising three stages: problem identification and environmental education; practical training in compost making and vertical gardening; and evaluation and monitoring of the activity’s outcomes. The results of the activity demonstrated four key achievements: (1) An increase in students’ knowledge regarding the management of organic and inorganic waste, as measured by an increase in pre-test to post-test scores. (2) An improvement in environmental attitudes and awareness, marked by 10–15 students who began collecting waste from home independently. (3) A positive impact on the school’s environmental aesthetics through the installation of vertical gardens in front of and beside the classrooms. (4) The school’s commitment to continuing the programme sustainably through a regular composting schedule, maintenance of the vertical garden, and the establishment of a waste bank. This activity demonstrates that a hands-on approach is effective in fostering environmentally friendly behaviour and supports the realisation of a Zero Waste School culture at primary school level.

Abstract

Aquaponics is an innovative solution that integrates fish farming (aquaculture) and plant cultivation (hydroponics) through land and water efficiency to provide halal food at SMA Islam Al-Amalul Khair, Palembang. This community service activity aims to provide education and training on the implementation of vertical aquaponics as a sustainable food production model in a school environment. The program was implemented using a participatory approach, actively involving partners in every stage, including observation and planning, socialization, technology implementation, and evaluation. The results indicated that installing the units inside the classroom effectively enhanced learning quality, simplified operational monitoring, and minimized the risk of damage from external factors. Final evaluations through interviews and direct observations confirmed high enthusiasm and a significant increase in students' understanding of aquaponics concepts and halal food self-sufficiency. This program is expected to be a strategic step toward achieving independent food security and serving as a sustainable educational medium in an educational setting.
