Abstract

Empowerment of home-based micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) is an important strategy for enhancing the economic self-reliance of rural communities. This Community Service program aimed to empower the PKK group of Aek Gunung Village through innovation in producing pandan-scented liquid dishwashing soap by applying simple science. The program was implemented using a participatory approach over three days, consisting of education, training, hands-on practice, mentoring, and evaluation stages. Local natural resources in the form of pandan leaves were utilized as functional aromatic agents to increase product value. The results indicate an improvement in participants’ knowledge and skills in production processes, as well as increased entrepreneurial motivation based on local potential. The resulting products met basic standards in terms of functionality, aroma, and hygiene. Furthermore, a PKK business group was established to ensure program sustainability. These findings demonstrate that locally based product innovation combined with simple science is effective in strengthening home-based MSME capacity and promoting sustainable community empowerment.
