Abstract

The community service with the theme of Women's Empowerment aims to support empowerment activities for women housewives and adolescents organized by a group "Iqra House" in Sukapura Sub-District, Kiaracondong District, Bandung City, as recipients of CSR assistance from PT. Telkom is a set of women's empowerment equipment, namely ovens, mixers, sewing machines, and obras machines. It was found a problem, that for the continued use of assistance, this group was constrained by the availability of basic practice materials, because it did not collect fees from participants. The continuity of activities only uses makeshift materials from participants and administrators. Through the method of lecturing and demonstration, the activities carried out were to provide cooking skills training and a set of materials for the practice of making cakes in addition to capital for the continuity of activities. It was held at the time that coincided with the month of Ramadan, so that the results of this activity belonged to the participants of the activity and were made as Eid cakes.The results of this training are increasing knowledge and skills in the participants of the activity, which can be utilized when participants intend to seek additional income either by accepting orders or selling their products directly. Based on monitoring and evaluation, women's empowerment activities can take place on an ongoing basis because of a sense of togetherness between the management, participants and the local government. Because of this activity which was originally only attended by local residents, the participants increased from other villages in Kiaracondong District. Thus the final results of the activity are increased capacity of participants, namely having the ability to fulfill their basic needs, express ideas, make life choices, carry out economic activities, reach out and mobilize resources, and participate in social activities.
