Anisa Paujiah SINAGA — 2025-10-17

The dishwashing liquid soap-making training is a form of community empowerment activity aimed at improving skills while also creating business opportunities for the residents of Medan Krio Village in Hamlet IV. This activity is driven by the community’s need for affordable, eco-friendly, and economically valuable household products. The training process was carried out through counseling, demonstrations, and hands-on practice, enabling participants not only to gain theoretical understanding but also to be able to produce dishwashing liquid independently. The methodology applied was based on the Service-Learning model, which emphasizes practical components using an experience-based learning concept. To achieve these objectives, an assessment was conducted through action tests that demonstrated how to make dishwashing liquid soap as well as promotional strategies on social media platforms. The UINSU KKN team conducted ongoing guidance on creativity, which we implemented under the title: “Dishwashing Liquid Soap-Making and Promotion Training to Improve Household Economy in Medan Krio Village.” Thus, the dishwashing liquid soap-making training is expected to become one of the sustainable community empowerment strategies in Medan Krio Village, particularly in Hamlet IV.

This community empowerment program aimed to enhance the productivity and sustainability of the Segara Ayu Kedonganan Fishermen Group by integrating digital accounting systems, digital marketing strategies, and fisheries science applications.

The outcomes included increased financial literacy, market access, product diversification, and environmental sustainability practices. The program also fostered collaboration between academia and local communities, contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) related to economic growth, responsible consumption, and life below water.

I Gusti Ayu Agung Istri Sari DEWI — 2025-10-17

This community service activity was conducted under the Community-Based Empowerment (PBM) scheme, focusing on assisting creative visual art MSMEs (Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises) of ARTPM BALI located in Bona Village, Blahbatuh Subdistrict, Gianyar Regency. These enterprises face several fundamental challenges, particularly in production management, marketing, and financial management. The program’s activities included providing production equipment (such as sewing machines, grinders, drill bits, and other supporting tools), training on the use of digital marketing technology through social media and e-commerce platforms, production management training, and the introduction of simple financial recording applications to support better cash flow management. The implementation of the program has shown positive outcomes. In the production sector, partners have improved work efficiency and product quality through the use of new equipment. In marketing, partners have become more active in promoting their products via social media and are exploring marketplace platforms as distribution channels. In financial management, partners have started to record daily transactions using digital applications, resulting in better cash flow control. Overall, this ongoing community service initiative has successfully enhanced the partners’ capacity to manage their businesses in a more modern and professional manner. Active participation of the partners in every stage of the program has been a key factor in its success. However, further stages are still required, particularly in providing continuous mentoring, strengthening branding, and conducting implementation monitoring to ensure long-term and sustainable impacts.

The 2025 Community Service Program – Community Empowerment by Warmadewa University Students (KKN-PMM) in Belantih Village, Kintamani District, Bangli Regency, was held for one month with the theme "Synergy of Physical, Mental, Financial, and Environmental Health in Supporting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)." Involving 25 students from various disciplines, this program was designed to address multidimensional problems identified through village situation analysis, including low mental health literacy, suboptimal waste management, limited diversification of locally based economic products (coffee and oranges), low financial literacy, and challenges in basic education (reading, writing, and arithmetic). Implementation methods included direct education, participatory training, ongoing mentoring, and cooperation activities. The program results showed a significant increase in community understanding of mental health, the application of the 3R principle (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle), innovative product processing skills (coffee cake and orange wine), the ability to manage household finances, and children's learning progress. This program directly contributes to the achievement of several SDGs, such as SDG 3 (Health and Well-Being), SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 5 (Gender Equality), SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), and SDG 13 (Addressing Climate Change). The program's success is supported by close collaboration between students, village officials, educational institutions, and the community. This article concludes that a holistic and locally based approach is key to successful community empowerment. It is recommended that the village government and universities continue their partnership to ensure the program's sustainability.
