Entrepreneurship training is one of the efforts to empower homemakers in improving economic independence within the family. This activity is driven by the importance of women’s roles in supporting household income through creative businesses based on local potential, such as utilising fabric scraps and traditional food ingredients. The training was conducted at the PKK Hall of RT 01 RW 05 Dukuh Plosowangi Wetan, involving 27 PKK members. The method used in this community service activity was Participatory Action Research (PAR), consisting of observation, action (material delivery and practice), and active participation from the participants. The training focused on making scrunchies from fabric scraps and molten cassava balls using natural materials available in the surrounding environment. The results showed that the training ran successfully, as seen from the participants’ enthusiasm and their improved skills in producing both products. The average evaluation score given by participants reached 4.20 on a scale of 1 to 5. Interestingly, one of the participants had already implemented the training results by producing and selling molten cassava balls through a consignment system at nearby stores. This activity has had a positive impact in terms of enhancing skills, boosting entrepreneurial spirit, and raising awareness about utilising waste and local materials for creative business. The training is expected to be a catalyst for the growth of micro-home enterprises within the village community.

2025-11-17T06:25:09+00:00

This activity was carried out to address the challenges faced by micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) at UKM Aliya, Dusun Gamol Balecatur, particularly the limited understanding of financial management. The main issue identified was the absence of separation between personal and business finances, which made it difficult for business owners to assess their financial performance objectively. To enhance financial management capabilities, a financial literacy training program was conducted, covering basic financial management concepts and the practical use of an Android-based accounting application for preparing financial statements. The application was chosen for its accessibility and user-friendly interface, making it suitable for small business operators. The training was implemented through educational sessions and direct mentoring, allowing participants to learn interactively. Based on the evaluation results, participants showed positive responses and improved understanding, although some still required continued guidance due to the limited mentoring time.

2025-12-01T07:55:11+00:00

This purpose of this community service activity is to implement a raw material inventory control system at Laven.flo, a micro-enterprise engaged in the production of wire-feather bouquets. The main issue identified is the unstructured inventory management, which often leads to stock surpluses or shortages, thereby disrupting production flow and reducing customer satisfaction. The implementation of this activity adopts a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, involving the business owner directly in all stages—from problem identification to evaluation. Methods employed include ABC analysis to classify raw materials based on usage value, weekly demand estimation based on historical production data, and the implementation of a simple spreadsheet-based inventory recording system. The results show that the system improves procurement efficiency, reduces storage costs, and minimizes the risk of production delays. Furthermore, the participatory approach enhances the owner's awareness of the importance of data-driven inventory management. Therefore, the system developed can serve as a practical and replicable model for other micro-enterprises with similar characteristics.
