Education On Recycling Paper Waste Into Seed Paper As An Environmentally Friendly Product For Vocational School Students
type: item
description: Paper is a material with various daily applications, as a medium for writing, printing, drawing, wrapping, etc. Although in the digital era the role of paper is increasingly minimal, it cannot be denied that the use of paper continues. Besides being useful, paper also leaves a problematic side when it becomes waste. Paper waste that is tried to be eliminated by burning will cause air pollution in the form of disturbing and dangerous smelling smoke, especially in large and continuous volumes. Recycling paper waste is important in order to prevent and minimize environmental damage due to inappropriate handling. The process of recycling paper aims to process paper waste into "new" paper that can be reused and has a selling value. By utilizing household equipment that is generally available at home, this training activity is carried out through simple traditional methods, namely soaking, blending, to the process of filtering paper pulp and drying. The training was carried out on 45 students of SMK N 1 Trucuk, Klaten. This training produces practical solutions for dealing with paper waste while providing basic provisions for students to be able to recycle used paper, so that the implementation of creativity in the future is useful. With the uniqueness of the visuals of paper that is made artistically, it can also be applied as a material in making handicraft products that have sales value.

type: item
description: Pertumbuhan populasi lansia di Kabupaten Sukoharjo menunjukkan urgensi akan penguatan kapasitas edukasi yang inklusif dan berkelanjutan. Program Sekolah Lansia Salimah (Salsa) yang diinisiasi oleh PD Salimah Sukoharjo mengalami keterbatasan pelaksanaan akibat minimnya fasilitator yang terlatih. Kegiatan pengabdian ini bertujuan untuk mengoptimalisasi peran fasilitator melalui intervensi terstruktur berupa sosialisasi, edukasi, pelatihan, kunjungan lapangan, pendampingan, monitoring dan evaluasi. Metode partisipatif berbasis komunitas diterapkan, melibatkan 12 Pimpinan Cabang (PC) Salimah sebagai sasaran utama. Hasil evaluasi pre-test dan post-test menunjukkan peningkatan pengetahuan peserta secara signifikan (p < 0.001), disertai pembentukan unit Salsa aktif di wilayah Bendosari. Tim fasilitator terbentuk di seluruh PC, dilengkapi dengan modul pelatihan dan didampingi secara daring pasca kegiatan. Program ini berkontribusi terhadap peningkatan kapasitas komunitas dalam penyelenggaraan pembelajaran lansia yang sehat, mandiri, dan produktif, serta mendukung capaian Indikator Kinerja Utama (IKU) perguruan tinggi.

Solar Energy-Based Fisheries Appropriate Technology Program Pokmas Water Resources Management Purwosari Village, Wonogiri
type: item
description: Agriculture, livestock, and fisheries are key sectors that support the economic life of the majority of the Purwosari village community. They face environmental and social vulnerabilities, while also facing economic vulnerability. This is achieved by transforming traditional technologies currently used by the community to increase fisheries yields and downstream marketing through Free Nutritional Meal Kitchens (MBG) in the surrounding Wonogiri area. Strengthening village human resource development through the empowerment of Appropriate Technology (PTTG) in Purwosari Village, Wonogiri, aims to encourage energy independence in the economic activities of community groups. This includes strengthening the human resources of the Purwosari village community health post (Posyantek) for the construction of 200W solar cell TTGs and 2000W converters, solar-powered pond water pumps, and the construction of aquaculture ponds; and for freshwater fisheries. In general, the assembly of solar-powered water pump models can be adapted to field conditions and market availability. The core of this assembly is converting the electricity supply from the state electricity company (PLN) into electricity from natural sources (sunlight). The necessary equipment includes: Solar panels/solar cells (photovoltaic), controller, inverter, battery, cables, and mounting frame. The life cycle cost calculation for a solar-powered fisheries system at the PSDA Community Group (Pokmas PSDA), with solar-powered pumps and lights, shows a cost efficiency of Rp. 61,600,000 – Rp. 19,665,000 = Rp. 41,935,000 (assuming the equipment's life cycle cost is 10 years), resulting in a cost savings of 67%.

Socialization of Waste Management and Distribution of Trash Bins to Increase Community Knowledge in Kedungbako Village
type: item
description: Waste is a crucial issue that must be addressed, especially by the government. Although waste is a particular concern, the reality is that it is not being managed properly. Waste remains an unresolved problem. Almost every day, people produce waste and it is mixed together from various types of waste. The accumulation of waste will cause various problems, such as flooding, ecosystem damage, and poor water sanitation. The purpose of this community service is to provide socialization about an effective waste management system, including the decomposition of organic and inorganic waste and the distribution of trash cans. Because the community service sees that one of the main factors that causes villagers to throw waste in the river is the lack of trash cans in several places frequently visited by the community. The method of implementing this PKM is initial implementation, socialization, distribution of trash cans, monitoring and evaluation with an emphasis on solving the problem, namely the lack of literacy and public awareness about waste. The conclusion of this community service is to create a clean environment free of waste that will have a positive impact on the community and the surrounding environment so that the community can realize the importance of managing waste that can generate economic value. It is hoped that this activity can increase and encourage public thinking about the benefits that can be generated by the presence of trash cans, waste management, and literacy that has been provided to the community.

Improving Financial Technology-Based Financial Management for Noken Mama Papuan Artisans in Baliem Jayawijaya Valley
type: item
description: This community service activity aims to enhance financial management literacy and the adoption of financial technology (fintech) among the Mama Papua Suara Hati Ibu noken craftsman group in the Baliem Valley, Jayawijaya. The main problems faced by partners are traditional financial record keeping, limited access to formal financial services, and low understanding of fintech applications. The implementation method is socialization, training, mentoring, and evaluation through pre-test and post-test. The results of the activity show a significant increase in knowledge and skills of partners in managing finances in a structured manner by utilizing the Qasir application as a digital recording medium, namely 60% where initially only 3 people understood financial technology, after the training, the number increased to 28 people. Supporting factors for this community service activity were the active role of all participants during the implementation, the partners' openness to problems faced, and the existence of clear duties and functions for partners, so that it was easy to coordinate the course of the training, as well as the support of the tribal chief regarding security during the activity. However, there were several obstacles during the implementation, including limited access to electricity, unstable internet, and tribal war during the activity, that required rescheduling and adding training time. The hope is that this activity will foster digital financial management literacy among partners, promote economic independence, and serve as a model for sustainable technology-based MSME empowerment in underserved and underserved regions (3T).

Black Soldier Fly as an Alternative to Strengthen the Local Economy and Manage Organic Waste in Mojolaban District
type: item
description: Waste remains a major issue in various regions, particularly organic waste. Unmanaged organic waste can cause environmental pollution and contribute to increased greenhouse gas emissions. In line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 12 (Sustainable Consumption and Production) and SDG 13 (Action on Climate Change), innovative solutions are needed to manage organic waste more effectively and efficiently. Waste banks, as environmental advocates, are currently focusing more on managing inorganic waste because it is considered to have greater market value than organic waste. Black Soldier Fly is an alternative in processing organic waste that has economic value. Community service activities aim to strengthen the economy of the community in Demakan Village, Mojolaban District, Sukoharjo Regency through black soldier fly training as an environmentally friendly and sustainable method of managing organic waste. This activity includes outreach, training, and mentoring for waste bank members in Demakan Village, Mojolaban District, Sukoharjo Regency. The black soldier flies produced can be used as alternative feed for the fisheries and poultry sectors, thus supporting the circular economy concept. This activity is expected to raise public awareness of more productive organic waste management, reduce the negative impact of waste on the environment, and create business opportunities based on local resources. Thus, this activity not only contributes to improving community welfare but also accelerates the achievement of the SDGs through more inclusive and sustainable economic development.

Implementasi Mesin Produksi Pelet Apung untuk Mendukung Kemandirian Pakan Kelompok Budidaya Ikan di Desa Karangasem, Bulu, Sukoharjo
type: item
description: The high cost of fish feed has become the main problem in fish farming in Karangasem Village, Bulu District, Sukoharjo Regency. The “GP” Fish Farmers Group has long depended on commercial feed, which continues to increase in price and reduce profit margins. Meanwhile, local raw materials such as tofu waste, rice bran, and fish meal are abundantly available but have not been fully utilized due to the lack of processing technology. This community service program was carried out to implement a floating pellet machine as a solution to support feed self-sufficiency. The method consisted of three stages: preparation, implementation, and monitoring-evaluation. The preparation stage involved identifying partner needs and designing the pellet machine. The implementation stage included discussions, machine assembly, and feed production trials using local ingredients. Monitoring and evaluation were conducted through technical assistance and interviews with the group. The results indicate that the partners were able to operate the machine independently and produce floating pellets suitable for gourami and catfish farming. The use of this machine has proven effective in reducing feed costs, improving farming efficiency, and strengthening the group’s economic independence.

Premature Baby Care Training for Mothers: Efforts to Improve Skills in Caring for Premature Babies
type: item
description: Caring for premature infants remains a major challenge for mothers, particularly in developing countries such as Indonesia. Infants born before 37 weeks of gestation require specialized care not only during hospitalization but also after discharge. Unfortunately, many mothers still lack adequate knowledge and skills to independently manage the care of premature infants, especially in key aspects such as safe bathing, maintaining body temperature to prevent hypothermia, providing optimal nutrition, and preventing infection. The limited availability of practical training and health education further constrains the transition from hospital-based to home-based care. This community service program was designed to strengthen maternal competence in caring for premature infants through structured training that combined theoretical instruction with hands-on practice. The activity was conducted at Soediran Mangun Sumarso Regional Hospital, Wonogiri, in May 2025, and involved six mothers with premature infants. The methods included health education, demonstrations, simulation exercises, and pre- and post-training evaluations. The results indicated a significant improvement in maternal competence across the four targeted skills. These findings highlight the effectiveness of practice-based educational interventions in preparing mothers for independent premature infant care.

Empowerment of the Sanggang Village Community Through Training on Coconut Sap Processing and Making Ant Sugar-Based Sponge
type: item
description: Sanggang Village is one of the areas where dwarf coconuts are widely planted, managed by the Karya Makmur farmer group (gapoktan). The young coconut trees can be tapped for sap, which can then be processed into palm sugar as an alternative to granulated sugar. However, the farmer group in Sanggang Village still does not understand the potential of coconut sap and its processing. Therefore, the purpose of this community service is to provide understanding and competency to the farmer group in Sanggang Village regarding the development of dwarf coconut sap processing. The target group of the team is the Karya Makmur farmer group, which is responsible for the maintenance and processing of dwarf coconuts. The methods used by the team are training (socialization and practice), application of technology on tapping coconut sap and processing it into palm sugar using several evaluation instruments, such as pre-tests and post-tests, visual observations, and community testimonials. The results of the community service activities show an 80% increase in community understanding regarding coconut sap processing and its economic potential. These results are accompanied by enthusiasm and increased community skills in processing palm sugar into derivative products in the form of cakes. This community service initiative has sparked enthusiasm and enthusiasm in processing and downstreaming dwarf coconuts, creating valuable products and, hopefully, providing a new source of income for the Sanggang Village community. This initiative has the potential to be developed and expanded into a palm sugar-based product marketing venture, which could be implemented in collaboration with the Village-Owned Enterprise (BUMDES) in Sanggang Village, specifically for the snack business.
