Edukasi Pembuatan Sabun Cuci Piring sebagai Upaya Meningkatkan Kreativitas dan Keterampilan Produktif Ibu-Ibu Desa Silaiya Tanjung Leuk

Abstract

The dishwashing soap-making skills training activity was carried out as an effort to improve the knowledge, skills, creativity, and productivity of women in Silaiya Tanjung Leuk Village. This activity was motivated by the limited knowledge and skills of the community in processing materials into useful household products with potential economic value. The activity was conducted through several stages, namely preparation, material presentation, demonstration, hands-on practice, product packaging, evaluation, and mentoring. Participants were provided with knowledge about the tools and materials used, the functions of the materials, and the steps involved in making dishwashing soap. The participants then observed a demonstration and carried out the practice directly under guidance. The results showed that the women of Silaiya Tanjung Leuk Village demonstrated good enthusiasm and were able to follow the dishwashing soap-making process well. The resulting product produced sufficient foam, had a fresh citrus aroma, and was able to help clean stains and dirt from household utensils. This activity provided participants with new experiences and skills that can be utilized for household needs or further developed into a simple business opportunity. With continued support and mentoring, these skills are expected to improve creativity, independence, and the potential for additional family income
