Community participation refers to the active involvement of citizens in various stages of the development process, especially at the village level. A concrete example of community participation can be seen in the case study of Bendhung Lepen, located in Mrican Village, Yogyakarta. Bendhung Lepen is an irrigation canal that stems from the Gajah Wong River. Before its revitalization, the area faced numerous environmental problems, primarily due to household waste and pollution that contaminated the waterway and negatively affected the environment and public health. In response to these issues, local residents, along with relevant stakeholders, initiated an environmental conservation program. The main goal of this initiative was to restore the ecological function of Bendhung Lepen and transform it into a clean, green, and beneficial public space for the community. This study aims to measure the level of community participation in the environmental conservation program. Data collection methods included questionnaires for quantitative analysis and in-depth interviews for qualitative insights into community involvement. The results of the study show that community members were actively involved in various phases of the program, including planning, implementation, and evaluation. Stakeholders involved in the program included community leaders, youth groups, environmental organizations, and village officials. The forms of participation extended beyond voicing aspirations to contributing labor (through mutual cooperation) and materials (such as donations or supplies). According to Arnstein’s ladder of participation, the level of community participation in this conservation program falls under the category of "delegated power," which represents a high degree of participation. This means that the community was not merely involved as passive participants but was given real authority in decision-making and program management. These findings indicate that genuine and sustained community involvement plays a crucial role in the success of local environmental conservation efforts.

Indonesia, as the country with the largest Muslim population, has great potential in developing Islamic philanthropy, particularly through the stock waqf instrument. Stock waqf allows sharia stocks to be managed to generate dividends or capital gains, which are then distributed to social programs. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of digital stock waqf management through MotionTrade by PT MNC Sekuritas, as well as to identify the challenges and opportunities in its implementation. The research method used is qualitative, with a field approach for data collection using semi-structured interviews, non-participant observation, and documentation at PT MNC Sekuritas Surabaya and waqf institutions such as BWI and RZI. The research results show that through the MotionTrade application, donation management is carried out based on the POAC principles (Planning, Organizing, Actuating, Controlling) in accordance with sharia, with transparency and professionalism through the philanthropic features of MotionTrade. Collaboration with trusted nazhir institutions such as BWI, RZI, and BAZNAS ensures that the donations are properly targeted, covering assistance for Gaza, orphans, healthcare services, qurban (animal sacrifice), and scholarships. However, there are still challenges such as digital literacy, resource management, and continuously evolving regulations. With proper management and cross-institutional support, stock waqf and digital philanthropic donations through MotionTrade have the potential to become strategic instruments for improving the welfare of the Muslim community in Indonesia.

Blood donation activities are an essential form of community service to help meet the growing demand for blood in Indonesia. The collaboration between IKT Kartini Batam, Yayasan Buddha Tzu Chi, and the Indonesian Red Cross (PMI) represents a strategic approach to enhance public social awareness through blood donation. This activity aims to educate the community about the benefits of blood donation and encourage more individuals to participate in this social cause. Held on June 22, 2025, the blood donation event involved 120 donors and successfully raised new awareness among the community, particularly about the importance of blood donation as part of social responsibility. Moreover, the collaboration between the three institutions strengthened existing social networks and enriched the academic community's understanding of community service. The event's evaluation showed positive results with an increase in the number of donors and active community participation, despite some technical challenges related to the number of medical staff. Overall, this activity had a significant impact both socially and academically, and it is expected to continue growing, offering greater benefits to society in the future.

Premature ovarian failure (POF) is a condition where the ovaries stop functioning before the age of 40 years, resulting in permanent infertility. IVF with own eggs in POF patients has a very low success rate, so egg donation is the most effective alternative. This review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of using egg donors in IVF programs in women with POF, through an analysis of 20 studies systematically selected from international scientific databases. The results of the study showed that egg donation consistently increased the clinical pregnancy and live birth rates in POF patients, although accompanied by obstetric risks such as gestational hypertension and preeclampsia. New reproductive technologies such as in vitro maturation (IVM), stem cell therapy, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) also provide additional prospects for restoring ovarian function. In conclusion, egg donation is a major strategy in the management of infertility due to POF, which requires the support of an integrated clinical, ethical, and policy approach.

The results of this study indicated that the implementation of CSR at KPP Pratama Palembang Seberang Ulu has been running well and reflects the application of the Triple Bottom Line concept (people, planet, profit) through various activities, such as tax socialization, blood donation, donations to orphanages and ederly social homes, and tree planting.

Counseling and psychological support services play an important role in maintaining mental health, which affects the quality of life, social interaction, and resilience of individuals in facing challenges. This study aims to provide real experiences in community development through the MBKM KKN program, with a focus on the implementation of religious education, social activities, and cultural preservation at the Al-Mubarok Islamic Boarding School in Bengkulu. Tahsin education activities are an important part of improving the ability to read the Qur'an properly and correctly. In addition, the implementation of open donations reflects social participation that encourages the sustainability of Islamic boarding school programs. On the other hand, cultural education aims to instill local and national values ​​in students from an early age, as an effort to shape the identity and character of the nation. This study uses the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach, which utilizes local potential and assets as the basis for community development. The results show that the three aspects—tahsin education, social donations, and cultural learning—run synergistically and consistently. This collaboration contributes to the formation of the spiritual, social, and cultural character of students. The study recommends strengthening cooperation between Islamic boarding schools, the community, and donors to continuously improve the quality of education and welfare of students.

Education plays a crucial role in developing quality human resources, with one of the key aspects being the enhancement of students' interest in reading and literacy skills. However, fostering a reading culture among elementary school students remains a significant challenge, particularly at SDN Cilangkara 02, and which lacks a proper library. In response, the 2025 Cilangkara Village Community Service Program (KKN) students implemented the "Literacy Corner" initiative, which aimed to provide a simple, comfortable, and accessible reading space. This program adopted a participatory and educational implementative approach, involving teachers, students, the literacy community, and university students. Activities included conducting a needs assessment, collecting book donations, constructing and decorating the literacy corner, organizing the reading space, and holding an inauguration event. The results of the program showed a notable increase in students' interest in reading, as well as the development of a habit of interacting with books. Moreover, it helped cultivate a literacy culture within the school environment. Despite facing challenges such as limited books, inadequate funding, and students' distraction by gadgets, the program succeeded in achieving a positive impact. It not only contributed to improving literacy and character building but also fostered a sustainable reading culture at SDN Cilangkara 02

The alignment of budget planning with funding sources is a crucial aspect of financial management in Islamic educational organizations to ensure operational sustainability and improve the quality of educational services. This study aims to analyze strategies that can be implemented in drafting and adjusting budget plans with various funding sources, such as government funds, zakat, infaq, waqf, community donations, and student contributions. This research employs the library research method, which involves collecting and analyzing various literature related to Islamic educational financial management. The results indicate that the principles of efficiency, effectiveness, transparency, and accountability must be applied in managing educational funds to ensure optimal budget utilization. One of the key indicators for maintaining financial balance is the budget balance ratio, which measures the extent to which an organization’s revenue can cover its expenditures. If the ratio reaches or exceeds 100%, it indicates a surplus that can be allocated for institutional development. However, if the ratio is below 100%, a deficit occurs that must be addressed immediately through cost efficiency strategies, diversification of funding sources, and optimization of productive waqf assets. This study emphasizes that a systematic and sustainable financial strategy is essential for maintaining the financial stability of Islamic educational organizations. By implementing well-structured budget planning, strict supervision, and diversified funding sources, organizations can ensure financial sustainability and enhance the overall quality of Islamic education. 

The activity "Sharing Concern Through Donation of Suitable Clothing for the Poor in Tropodo Village, Waru, Sidoarjo" aims to help underprivileged communities in meeting their clothing needs. The background of this activity is the low economic conditions of the local community, so they prioritize food needs over clothing. This activity seeks to foster social solidarity by utilizing the culture of mutual cooperation in the community. The methods used include collecting suitable clothing from donors, sorting based on beneficiary categories, and distributing it directly to the poor who have been recorded. Through this activity, beneficiary communities can obtain more suitable clothing, increase their self-confidence, and reduce the negative impact of limited clothing on their welfare. The results of this activity show that donation of suitable clothing not only has an impact on the welfare of the recipients, but also increases social awareness in more affluent community groups. In addition, this activity strengthens relationships between residents and strengthens the values ​​of mutual cooperation in the community. Challenges in this activity include low community participation, logistical constraints, and varying quality of donations, which can be overcome with better education and coordination. With this activity, it is hoped that similar initiatives will emerge more widely, so that more people are encouraged to share and support each other.

The national blood demand is estimated to reach around 5.5 million bags per year, while the available blood supply is only around 4.1 million bags. This results in a significant annual blood shortage, approximately 1.4 million bags. The root cause of the main problem of unmet blood needs lies in the lack of public awareness. Therefore, efforts are needed to increase public education and awareness about the importance of blood donation and the high demand for blood. Activities include counseling and blood type testing of the ABO and Rh systems using the slide test method. The examination results show that the most common blood type found in Lampegan Village is type O, while the least common is type B. Almost all of them have Rh-positive blood type, and Rh-negative was found in one resident. Knowing the exact blood type and adopting a healthy lifestyle can help someone become a blood donor. Blood type testing is a persuasive strategy to raise public awareness about the importance of blood types and the benefits of blood donation.
