M. Nur Salim — 2025-12-06

The purpose of this community service initiative was to raise awareness of rabies among the families of dog-bite victims and the community of Napagaluh Village, Danau Paris Sub-district, Aceh Singkil Regency. The method used involved direct socialization and education for the affected community. The activity took place on Wednesday, September 24, 2025, at the village hall. It was attended by staff from the Provincial and Regency-level Health Office and Livestock Service of Aceh Singkil, sub-district coordination forum (Muspika) officials, the local Community Health Center (Puskesmas), and community leaders of Napagaluh Village. Following the rabies socialization and education activity, there was a noticeable change in the behavior and attitudes of the dog-bite victims' families and the community toward rabies prevention and the management of dog-bite cases. The families and community members now understand and are willing to implement rabies prevention measures through Anti-Rabies Vaccination (VAR) for rabies-transmitting animals (HPR), such as dogs and cats.

Pemanfaatan Citra Google Earth untuk Pemetaan Lahan Perkebunan di Pesantren Terpadu Tgk.Chik Eumpe Awee, Desa Atong, Kecamatan Montasik, Kabupaten Aceh Besar

Ichwana Ramli — 2025-12-01

The utilization of satellite imagery technology has become an effective alternative for supporting land mapping activities in spatial planning and resource management. This study aims to map the land characteristics at Tgk. Chik Eumpe Awee Integrated Islamic Boarding School, Satong Village, Montasik Subdistrict, Aceh Besar District, using Google Earth. Observations were conducted at five specific locations using a combination of satellite imagery, GPS data, and visual analysis. The mapping results revealed significant variations in land conditions across sites. Locations 1 and 3 have rugged terrain and are not recommended for field activities due to accessibility and safety concerns unless it has been done with cut and fill. Location 2 is dominated by clay soil with a high acidity level (pH 4.0), requiring additional management such as liming. Location 4 consists mainly of rocky soil, making it unsuitable for cultivation activities. In contrast, Location 5, with sandy loam soil, shows potential for agricultural development, though further laboratory analysis is needed to confirm its suitability. This study demonstrates that Google Earth is a practical and efficient tool for preliminary mapping, spatial analysis, and land use planning.

Pelatihan Pembuatan Produk Olahan Bergizi Berbasis Kelor, Pegagan, dan Temulawak untuk Pencegahan Stunting di Gampong Jawa Banda Aceh

Wahyu Eka Sari — 2025-12-01

This community service program was carried out in Gampong Jawa, Kutaraja District, Banda Aceh City, with a focus on training the community to produce nutritious local food products made from Moringa oleifera, Centella asiatica, dan Curcuma xanthorrhiza as an effort to prevent stunting. Field assessments identified two interrelated key problems: (1) the socio-community aspect, reflected in the limited understanding of cadres regarding nutrition education based on local plants such as Moringa, C. asiatica, and Curcuma, as well as the absence of sustainable educational media at the community level; and (2) the production and economic aspect, referring to the lack of technical skills, limited simple equipment, and the absence of standardized formulations for processed products made from Moringa, C. asiatica, and Curcuma as supplementary foods for stunting prevention. The implemented solution included training in the production of nutritious processed foods using these local plants, which are rich in essential nutrients for child growth and development. The program was conducted through socialization, education, technical training in product processing, and monitoring using pre–post-tests. The results demonstrated an increase of ≥80% in participants’ knowledge and ≥80% in practical production skills, along with the emergence of micro-enterprise initiatives based on local herbal food products. This program shows strong potential to serve as a sustainable village empowerment model to support stunting prevention and strengthen household-level economic resilience.

Membangun Kemandirian Finansial Berlandaskan Ilmu dan Iman pada Mahasiswa Asrama Penerima Beasiswa KIP-K

Novi Indriyani Sitepu — 2025-12-01

The Indonesia Smart College Card (KIP-K) program is structured to broaden access to higher education for students hailing from low-income families by subsidizing tuition fees and living expenses. Nonetheless, the mere availability of scholarship funds does not inherently guarantee the development of adequate personal financial management skills; consequently, some students continue to encounter financial pressures and challenges in maintaining the sustainability of their funds until subsequent disbursement periods. This community service initiative aims to enhance the financial independence of dormitory students who receive KIP-K funding through faith-based financial literacy training and mentorship programs. The methodology employed is Service Learning, encompassing preparation, implementation, and evaluation, and involving lecturers, student assistants, dormitory managers, and KIP-K recipients. The primary activities include interactive workshops on fundamental concepts of personal financial management, principles of Islamic finance—including halal income, the prohibition of riba, and the avoidance of israf and tabdzir—as well as practical exercises in preparing monthly budgets. The outcomes demonstrate improvements in participants’ comprehension of the distinction between needs and wants, the significance of allocating funds to distinct expenditure categories, and the relevance of Islamic values in financial decision-making. Participants also began to develop more realistic budget plans and to integrate savings and worship/social funds as essential components of their scholarship management. These findings suggest that faith-based financial literacy, when applied within the specific context of the dormitory environment, has the potential to foster more prudent, ethical, and blessings-oriented (barakah) financial behavior.

Didik Susetyo — 2025-12-01

This shrimp jerky production and packaging training is a community service activity conducted in Sungsang IV Village with the aim of improving the community's skills and knowledge in processing seafood into high-value products. Sungsang IV Village has significant potential as a shrimp producer, but its utilization has so far been limited to raw shrimp sales, which tend to have low added value. The training involved 20 participants consisting of micro-entrepreneurs. The activity included two main sessions: shrimp jerky production using hygienic processing techniques and food safety standards, and modern packaging using a vacuum sealer and attractive packaging design. Participants were also provided with material on the importance of product branding, marketing, and small business management. The results of this activity showed a positive response from participants, who felt the training was tailored to their needs. In addition to improving technical skills, the training also provided motivation to start businesses based on local seafood. As a follow-up, ongoing mentoring, such as digital marketing training and the provision of supporting tools, is proposed to ensure the sustainability of community businesses, enabling them to compete in local and national markets.

Kerupuk Protein Ikan Kembung: Alternatif Cemilan Sehat Anti Stunting Berbasis Edukasi Komunitas di Gampong Lam Asan, Aceh Besar

Rumi Sahara Zamzami — 2025-12-01

Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem affecting children's growth, with Lam Asan Village reporting a prevalence of around 20% among toddlers due to low animal-protein intake and limited innovation in nutritious food processing. This community program aimed to improve nutrition knowledge and enhance skills in processing local protein sources by developing mackerel-based protein crackers as a child-friendly, healthy snack. Activities included nutrition education, production training, hands-on practice, a product creation competition, and evaluation using pre- and post-tests and production-skill questionnaires. Results showed a 50.3% increase in nutrition knowledge (from 58.3 to 87.6) and an improvement in production skills (from 3.1 to 4.6). The crackers were acceptable, child-friendly, and feasible for home-based micro-enterprise development. The program effectively strengthened nutrition literacy, food-innovation skills, and family economic potential. Sustainability efforts will focus on product legality, micro-enterprise strengthening, and expanding multi-sector partnerships.

Agung Rorhi Prayudha — 2025-12-01

Training activities focused on diversifying chayote (Sechium edule) processing into various snack products for PKK mothers in Kota Juang, Bireuen Regency, to enhance the community's capacity in chayote processing. Historically, residents of Kota Juang have limited chayote use to mere vegetables, thereby diminishing its economic potential. The methodologies employed encompass approaches to socio-cultural, religious, health, service quality, and community life. The outcomes indicated high participation among PKK mothers, along with increased knowledge of chayote processing into economically valuable, nutritionally rich products such as takoyaki and candies. It is anticipated that this initiative can serve as a sustainable solution to improve the welfare of the residents of Kota Juang, Bireuen Regency.

Transformasi Kue Tradisional Lampisang ke Pasar Digital: Smart Branding dan Sejarah Kuliner Digital

Farid — 2025-11-07

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a strategic role in preserving cultural heritage while supporting regional economic growth. One example is Dhapu Kue Aceh, located in Gampong Lampisang, Aceh Besar, which has consistently produced the traditional bhoi cake since 1998. However, this business faces several challenges, including limited packaging innovation, the absence of digital marketing strategies, and manual financial recording. These conditions hinder competitiveness and restrict market access, particularly among younger generations who are more responsive to digital-based products. This community engagement program was designed to address these challenges through participatory and educational approaches. The proposed solutions include training in eco-friendly packaging design, the integration of QR codes containing digital culinary history, the adoption of spreadsheet-based financial recording, and the development of the “Kampoeng Kue Lampisang” website as a digital homebase. Promotional strategies are also strengthened through social media, online marketplaces, and collaborations with local influencers to expand consumer reach. The expected outcomes include increased revenue and product quality, the establishment of a digital business identity, intellectual property rights (IPR) applications, as well as academic publications and digital promotional media. Furthermore, the program aims to enhance digital literacy among MSMEs and promote cultural preservation through digital culinary storytelling. Thus, this initiative is expected to serve as a model for revitalizing culture-based MSMEs that are sustainable and adaptive to technological development.
