Implementing a Simple Water Filtration System to Enhance Water Quality in Rural Communities: A Case Study of Kalong Liud Village

2025-11-07T02:25:34+00:00

In response to global challenges outlined by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), this study addresses the urgent need for clean water in Klong Liud Village, Bogor Regency. The village struggles with inadequate water sources due to shallow wells contaminated by sedimentary rocks, forcing reliance on the Cikaniki River, which fails to meet Indonesian water quality standards. This research implements a Simple Water Filtration System to improve local water quality, employing a multi-stage filtration process that includes activated carbon, aquarium filters, and ijuk (palm fiber). The filtration unit was designed with three sequential stages and constructed together with local residents to ensure community participation and practical skill transfer. Post-implementation observations showed clear improvements in water appearance, odor, and acceptability for domestic use, indicating that the system effectively enhanced physical water quality. Methodologically, the project involved a field survey to assess water quality issues, community engagement to ensure local participation, and the construction of a filtration system capable of providing clean water. The evaluation post-implementation confirmed significant improvements, transforming initially polluted water into clean, odorless water suitable for daily use. This study highlights the effectiveness of simple filtration technologies in addressing water quality issues in rural settings and underscores the importance of sustainable solutions in achieving global water accessibility targets.

This training program aimed to enhance the pedagogical competencies of Mathematics teachers at Madrasah Aliyah (Islamic Senior High Schools) in Jakarta Special Capital Region in utilizing ClassPoint AI technology to develop interactive learning media. The training methodology incorporated lecture-based instruction, live demonstrations, hands-on practice sessions, and group discussions. Participants comprised 26 mathematics educators affiliated with the Mathematics Subject Teachers' Forum (MGMP). Evaluation results demonstrated significant improvement in participants' mastery of ClassPoint features, with a mean satisfaction rating of 4.43 out of 5. Primary implementation challenges included technological infrastructure limitations and internet connectivity issues. The training successfully promoted technology integration in instructional practices, aligning with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4 objectives regarding quality education. Recommendations for subsequent training iterations include the development of simplified installation modules and extension of program duration to optimize learning outcomes.

Development of Mangosteen Peel Flour as a Functional Food Ingredient to Support Entrepreneurial Independence in Village

2025-12-16T08:25:03+00:00

Sipak Village in Jasinga, Bogor Regency, has great potential for mangosteen production, yet it remains limited to fresh fruit sales, leading to increased peel waste. Through the PPK Ormawa program, students introduced the innovation of processing mangosteen peel into functional flour via blanching, drying, and grinding to retain bioactive compounds like xanthones and flavonoids. The program involved surveys, training, production, business mentoring, and marketing strategies. Final products included syrup, tea, and cookies under the brand Queens Flour. This initiative improved community skills, fostered local entrepreneurship, and reduced organic waste in a sustainable manner.

Community Empowerment through Family Medicinal Plant (TOGA) Cultivation and Product Innovation to Improve Health and Local Economy

2025-11-07T06:45:11+00:00

Parakan Village, Ciomas District, Bogor Regency, has considerable potential for the development of Family Medicinal Plants (TOGA) supported by household yards and unused land; however, community capacity in cultivation and product processing remains limited. This community empowerment program aimed to improve health literacy and strengthen the local economy through participatory training and mentoring in TOGA cultivation and value-added product innovation using a service-learning approach. The program involved 30 community members and focused on ginger, turmeric, galangal, cat’s whiskers, lemongrass, and betel. Program effectiveness was evaluated through pre–post-test, observations, and interviews. The results indicated a 53% increase in participants’ knowledge of TOGA cultivation and a 41% improvement in processing skills. In addition, three TOGA-based innovative products were successfully developed, namely JASEYO herbal yogurt, LUSHJAM infused water, and SEJIWA herbal drink, and were supported by digital-based commercialization through the Digital Herbal Village platform. Overall, the integration of TOGA cultivation, product innovation, and digital marketing contributes to improved community health capacity and creates sustainable local economic opportunities.

Enhancing Digital Literacy and Computational Thinking through Scratch-Based Learning

2025-11-07T02:57:20+00:00

In the digital era, students must develop digital literacy and computational thinking skills to face technological challenges. However, many Indonesian schools still emphasize theoretical knowledge rather than practical applications. This community service program aimed to enhance these skills through Scratch-based learning at the Muslihun Foundation, Parung, Bogor Regency. The program involved 21 junior and senior high school students and was implemented in five stages: preparation, socialization, Scratch training, project mentoring, and evaluation. Using a Project-Based Learning (PjBL) approach, students learned to create animations and educational games that applied computational concepts creatively. The evaluation used a 10-item pre-test and post-test instrument measuring basic digital literacy, logic, sequencing, and problem-solving indicators. The average score increased from 62.86 to 98.10, representing a 56% enhancement. Most participants achieved perfect post-test scores, proving the effectiveness of Scratch-based learning in improving computational thinking, creativity, and engagement. These findings highlight the need for accessible hands-on digital learning models and demonstrate the potential of simple visual programming tools to strengthen inclusive digital education practices in Indonesia.

Community Engagement Through Health Education on Tuberculosis (TB) During World Pharmacist Day 2025

2025-12-14T13:18:41+00:00

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health challenge in Indonesia. Pharmacists play a crucial role in strengthening community awareness, promoting early detection, and supporting treatment adherence. Community education activities are essential to empower the public with accurate knowledge and preventive practices. To describe the implementation and outcomes of TB health education conducted as part of the World Pharmacist Day (WPD) 2025 celebration in Bogor City and to evaluate its contribution to improving community awareness regarding TB. A community engagement activity was conducted on 25 September 2025 at Taman Heulang, Bogor. The program included health promotion through group exercise, pharmacist-led TB education, distribution of educational media, and direct one-on-one counseling. Preparatory activities, collaboration with stakeholders, and dissemination of 700 educational materials were documented. The activity involved 268 participants from IAI Kota Bogor and more than 300 community members attending the routine exercise program. TB education delivered by the Kopi TB team improved participants’ understanding of TB symptoms, transmission, prevention, and treatment adherence. Educational flyers and stickers served as effective reinforcement tools, expanding information reach within the community. The collaborative approach between pharmacists, local health authorities, and community groups facilitated high engagement and smooth execution of the program. The WPD 2025 community engagement activity successfully enhanced public awareness of TB and demonstrated the vital role of pharmacists in health promotion. Continued multidisciplinary collaboration is recommended to strengthen community-based TB control efforts.
