Activity Summary

The community service program in Kaloa Village, North Seram District, Central Maluku, is part of the PM 3T initiative aimed at improving agricultural productivity and internet access. The project includes the construction of a solar dryer dome to optimize sago drying using solar energy, enhancing the quality and market value of the product. Additionally, a workshop on producing biofertilizers from organic waste was held to improve soil fertility and support sustainable farming practices. The installation of Starlink internet was also carried out to improve connectivity, support educational activities, and create a better learning environment. In response to the limited electricity supply, the project is equipped with solar panels and batteries to meet energy needs independently. The impact of this program includes improved agricultural efficiency, economic potential, and educational opportunities, laying the foundation for sustainable growth in Kaloa Village. This initiative demonstrates a commitment to advancing remote areas and can serve as a model for sustainable development for other communities.
