EMPOWERING INDONESIAN MIGRANT WORKERS IN PENANG, MALAYSIA THROUGH FINANCIAL LITERACY AND MICRO-ENTERPRISE TRAINING
This article presents the results of a community service program aimed at enhancing financial literacy and entrepreneurial readiness among Indonesian migrant workers (IMWs) in Penang, Malaysia. Many IMWs, especially those working in informal sectors, face challenges in managing their personal finances and lack the skills needed to initiate small businesses.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE LI NIHA DICTIONARY DATA MODEL TO SUPPORT THE DIGITALIZATION AND PRESERVATION OF THE NIAS LANGUAGE
Language is a priceless cultural heritage, playing an important role as a means of social communication passed down from generation to generation. The Nias language, also known as Li Niha, is a regional language with its own unique characteristics compared to other regional languages in Indonesia. However, along with the development of the times and technological advances, the use of the Nias language has experienced a significant decline. The influence of the national language, lingua franca, and other foreign languages has caused many native vocabulary words to be rarely used, even replaced or changed form. This phenomenon poses a real threat to the preservation of the Nias language. Therefore, concrete efforts are needed in the form of digital technology-based preservation. This study aims to design a relational data model to build the Li Niha Dictionary, a digital dictionary of the Nias language that can be accessed online through a web-based application. The design is carried out through database development stages starting from conceptual, logical, to physical models, using MySQL. It is hoped that this data model can become the basis for the development of a broader digital dictionary, support integration with artificial intelligence (AI) and natural language processing (NLP), and become an educational medium for the younger generation in learning and preserving the Nias language
TRANSFORMING TRASH INTO TREASURE: WASTE VALORIZATION PRACTISE IN SUSTAINABLE PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
This study explores the potential of waste valorization as a strategy for promoting sustainable development within a circular economy framework among Indonesian migrant workers in Malaysia. The primary objective is to develop practical approaches for transforming domestic waste into high-value, environmentally friendly products, thereby addressing resource underutilization and environmental concerns. The methodology involves participatory training sessions to enhance community members' skills in waste management, product design, and entrepreneurship, supported by qualitative assessments of attitudes and quantitative measurements of raw material input and estimated production costs. The results indicate that 84% of participants felt the program effectively addressed relevant societal issues, 81% actively participated in and benefited from the activities, and the infrastructure support facilitated the production of eco-friendly products. Additionally, participants demonstrated increased knowledge, their skill levels improved from basic to medium, and they gained confidence in producing sustainable products, which can potentially be expanded to local and international markets. The study concludes that waste valorisation is a promising approach for fostering a circular economy and promoting sustainable development, emphasising the importance of continuous training, infrastructure development, and market access
FOOD SECURITY EDUCATION THROUGH MODULAR LEARNING AND ITS IMPACT ON FOOD SELF-SUFFICIENCY AWARENESS IN BEDAHAN, DEPOK CITY
Household food security is a strategic issue that requires special attention, particularly in urban areas with limited land and high dependence on external food sources. This community service program aimed to improve residents’ knowledge and skills in achieving food self-sufficiency through a module-based education program using both educational and participatory approaches. The target group consisted of residents from RT 01 RW 06, Bedahan Subdistrict, Sawangan District, Depok City. The educational materials covered household food security concepts, zero food waste practices, and the implementation of aquaponics using buckets (Budikdamber). The results showed a significant increase in participants' knowledge, with average scores rising from 85.33 (pre-test) to 93.30 (post-test). Positive feedback and successful hands-on Budikdamber practices indicated that this approach effectively raised awareness and understanding of sustainable and independent food management. This program is expected to be replicable in other communities as a model for strengthening local food resilience
FOOD SAFETY AND HALAL ASSURANCE IN COMMUNITY-BASED KITCHEN MANAGEMENT: A CASE OF YAYASAN YATIM VILLAGE BOGOR

The intervention involved preliminary assessment, educational workshops, practical demonstrations, and continuous mentoring. A total of 30 participants, including cooks and kitchen assistants, joined the program. Evaluation was conducted using pre-test and post-test assessments, behavioral observations, and participant feedback. The results showed a substantial improvement in knowledge, with average scores increasing from 56% in the pre-test to 89.5% in the post-test. Furthermore, all participants achieved the minimum competency threshold after the intervention. Behavioral observations confirmed positive changes in hygiene practices, proper food storage, separation of raw and cooked items, and documentation of halal certificates. The findings highlight that participatory and practical approaches effectively enhance both knowledge and behavior regarding food safety and halal assurance in social institutions. This model can serve as a best practice for ensuring safe, nutritious, and halal-compliant meals in other community-based settings
HYDROPONIC INNOVATION: ADVANCING MODERN AGRICULTURAL TECHNOLOGY IN MERUYA SELATAN
The community service program (PPM) was conducted with the target partners in Meruya Selatan Urban Village, West Jakarta. Based on the situational analysis, agriculture remains a key sector in supporting national food security. However, limited agricultural land and the declining quality of soil due to excessive use of chemical substances present major challenges that must be addressed. Hydroponics, as a modern soil-less farming technology, offers an innovative solution to enhance food production in an efficient, environmentally friendly, and sustainable manner. This technology enables communities, particularly in urban areas with limited land availability, to engage in independent farming. The objective of this activity is to provide training and assistance to the community on hydroponic systems, from fundamental concepts to practical implementation. With this knowledge, the community can utilize hydroponics as a modern farming alternative to improve productivity, strengthen food security, and create sustainable economic opportunities
