Sinergi bio-surya: Model kemitraan pengabdian masyarakat untuk transformasi limbah dapur menuju kemandirian energi

Gema Romadhona — 2026-01-16

RW 06 in Purwosari Village, Baturraden Subdistrict, faces two major challenges: unmanaged daily kitchen waste that contributes to sanitation and environmental problems, and reliance on PLN electricity, which is unreliable and costly for communal needs. This article presents the design, implementation, and effectiveness of the "Bio-Solar Synergy Partnership Model," a community-based Waste-to-Product (WTP) approach that integrates an anaerobic biodigester with a solar photovoltaic (PV) system. The program employed a Participatory Action Research (PAR) method, built on active collaboration among the service team, village administrators, and local community groups. The model successfully converted an average of 50 kg/day of organic kitchen waste and generated 1 kWh of electricity per day from the PV system. Importantly, the partnership model also established a local institution, the "Independent Energy Working Group (Pokja Energi Mandiri)," which independently manages operations and maintenance. The PV system plays a critical role in ensuring the continuous operation of the blender and the biodigester control system. Overall, the Bio-Solar Synergy model proved socio-technically effective: it reduced waste, produced clean energy, and strengthened community capacity and social ownership.

Hubbul Wathan — 2026-01-21

This community service program aimed to strengthen waqf and Islamic financial literacy among teachers at ZAMMI School for Orphans and the Underprivileged in Medan through participatory and technology-based training. The program was implemented through socialization sessions, training on digital teaching media, mentoring, and the provision of basic educational technology tools. Eight teachers participated in the program. The implementation of this community service program (PKM) uses a participatory mixed-method approach, combining both qualitative and quantitative data to gain a comprehensive understanding of the improvement in waqf and Islamic financial literacy among teachers. Evaluation was conducted using observations, interviews, and pre- and post-training questionnaires. The results indicated a substantial improvement in teachers’ understanding of waqf and Islamic finance, as well as increased confidence in utilizing digital media for learning. Quantitatively, the average literacy score increased from 3.34 to 4.45, indicating a significant positive change after the intervention. More importantly, teachers began to integrate waqf values and Islamic financial concepts into learning activities and school-based philanthropic practices.
