Women's empowerment is one indication of rising welfare. When women become educated, have property rights, and have the freedom to work outside and earn an independent income, this is a sign of improved household welfare. One of the steps in empowering women in Indonesia is done through PKK activities. Empowering PKK mothers as members of the community and who are also classified as productive labour is vital. The purpose of this empowerment is to develop awareness and independence in business, as well as to expand employment opportunities and increase the knowledge of mothers in Panjunan Village.

Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are one of the economic implementers that give color to Indonesia. The number of MSMEs is increasing every year and has absorbed a lot of workers. The existence of MSMEs is part of human life activities to meet their daily needs as well as their existence in the era of economic globalization and the ability to survive in the face of the economic crisis and during the Covid-19 pandemic. Marketing also requires a strategy that will later be able to win a battle. Because he considers that there are many opponents in the market field who have similarities in their business and should not be turned off. As in the Pancasila economic system, fellow market players should have a sense of mutual care from large entrepreneurs towards smaller entrepreneurs. Therefore, it is necessary to have a Grand Strategy and a Core Strategy or what is called a Core Strategy. (Buchari, 2018) Almost every month MSMEs in the Jember Lor area continue to increase, more people choose business as a way to gain financial income for the family. However, MSME business is still carried out conventionally without any thought for the development of the business. As explained above, assistance is needed for MSME business actors who are willing to become respondents to gain knowledge about marketing strategies in order to increase profits and ensure that their business can survive and develop.

The purpose of this activity is so that the environment of Batu Bersurat Village, XIII Koto Kampar District, Kampar Regency can become a clean and uncontaminated environment from cow dung. Cow dung can be processed into compost. Compost is an organic fertilizer made from animal waste that has undergone a fermentation process. The advantage of this compost is that it is environmentally friendly, can increase the income of farmers, and can increase soil fertility by repairing physical damage to the soil due to excessive use of inorganic (chemical) fertilizers. Batu Bersurat Village is an area with potential in agriculture, plantation and animal husbandry. The existence of cattle owned by the community has the potential to be used as compost which can be used for agriculture as well as for the fertility of plantation crops. However, the lack of knowledge of residents about the methods and benefits of making compost from cow manure causes cow manure to be thrown away, therefore people still use chemical fertilizers as a medium for the fertility of their plants. Therefore, a practice was held to make use of compost from cow manure in Batu Bersurat Village, District XIII Koto Kampar, Kampar Regency.

This research is motivated by the large number of children today, especially in rural areas, where there are still children who cannot read the Qur'an according to the knowledge of tajwid and tahsin. If from an early age you are still unable to read the Al-Qur'an using the knowledge of tajwid and tahsin, then it will also be difficult when you grow up to understand the laws of reading in the Al-Qur'an. Therefore, many parents entrust their children to the Al-Quran Education Park (TPA) to learn religion, especially how to read the Al-Quran. However, this is still not optimal because some of the teachers there do not apply the science of tajwid and tahsin, so KKN students teach tajwid and tahsin lessons. Namely using a method to make it easier for children to read the Koran, namely the Al Bayan and Qira'ati methods. The aim of this research is to determine the implementation of the Al Bayan and Qira'ati methods, as well as the factors that support and inhibit learning to read the Koran. This type of research uses qualitative research. Data collection techniques use observation. The data analysis technique used is descriptive interpretive. The research results show that the Qira'ati method can be applied in this village, because using this method is able to attract children to diligently read the Al-Qur'an and also so that children do not feel bored when learning to read the Al-Qur'an. Factors that support learning the Koran are (a) Place; and (b) Learning Media. Then the factors that inhibit it are facilities and infrastructure

Through a literature study approach and case studies of successful churches, several strategies were found that could be implemented: First, churches need to increase the congregation's skills and knowledge in facing economic changes. Second, churches need to utilize information and communication technology to support the congregation's economy. Third, the church can encourage entrepreneurship among the congregation. Support can be provided through providing co-working spaces in churches or establishing business incubators to help congregation members who want to start their own business. Churches can also facilitate business collaborations between congregations who have complementary skills and interests. Four, churches need to develop strategic partnerships with external parties, such as non-profit organizations, financial institutions, or private companies that have visions and values that are in line with the church. but must be based on the ethical and moral principles taught by religion.
