Abstract
This community service program aimed to empower local communities in utilizing melon leaf waste (Cucumis melo) to produce herbal hand wash as a natural alternative to hand hygiene products. The main problems faced by the community included suboptimal management of organic waste and limited use of local resources to produce value-added products. The methods consisted of education, hands-on training, and assistance with the production process, including melon leaf extraction, formulation, and packaging. The results demonstrated a significant improvement in participants’ knowledge and skills, with production capability increasing from 20% to 90% and process understanding reaching 100%. The herbal wash product produced was safe for use and showed potential as an eco-friendly hygiene product. This program highlights that a practice-based empowerment approach is effective in enhancing community capacity while supporting sustainable waste management.
