Community Empowerment Based on Local Potential through Animal Husbandry Assistance, Waste Management, and MSMEs in Lok Bahu Village

Pemberdayaan Masyarakat Berbasis Potensi Lokal melalui Pendampingan Peternakan, Pengelolaan Sampah, dan UMKM di Kelurahan Lok Bahu

Abstract

The Collaborative Student Community Service (KKN) program in Lok Bahu Urban Village, Sungai Kunjang District, Samarinda City, was conducted from July 13 to August 22, 2026, as a form of student service aimed at fostering community self-reliance through educational, participatory, and practical approaches. This service program focused on three key areas: goat farming development, organic waste processing into compost, and marketing support for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) through visual promotional media. The livestock program involved coordination with the Livestock and Animal Health Agency to provide veterinary care and develop sustainable business plans for farmers. The MSME program provided branding assistance and created promotional materials—including logos, banners, catalogs, promotional videos, and packaging stickers—for six local business owners. Meanwhile, the organic waste processing initiative, conducted through composting workshops, improved the understanding of 15 residents of RT 25 (Villa Elektrikmas Housing Complex) regarding productive household waste management and climate change mitigation efforts. Overall, this KKN program positively impacted the community's knowledge, skills, and awareness regarding the independent management of local resources, thereby contributing to economic strengthening and environmental sustainability in Lok Bahu Urban Village.
