This community service initiative aims to apply biopore infiltration hole technology as a community-based flood mitigation solution in Labuhan Ratu District, Bandar Lampung City. This area faces major problems in the form of a high risk of waterlogging caused by low soil absorption, predominance of watertight surfaces, and suboptimal drainage systems. The program is carried out with a project-based community empowerment approach, where as many as 50 local residents are involved in each stage of the activity. These stages include environmental awareness campaigns, technical training on making biopore infiltration holes, providing equipment, and direct practice in the field. A total of 100 strategic points in the Dasawisma Palapa 6 environment are the locations for the implementation of biopores. The results of the activity show that this simple technology effectively improves the soil's ability to absorb water and reduce surface runoff, so that the risk of inundation can be reduced. In addition, this activity also encourages the formation of community groups that are tasked with maintaining biopores, in order to ensure the sustainability of long-term benefits. This program not only has a positive impact on the quality of the physical environment, but also strengthens the capacity of citizens to manage natural resources based on appropriate technology. The active participation of the community has proven to be the key to success, as it creates a sense of belonging while increasing ecological awareness at the local level. These findings confirm that the integration of simple technological innovations and community empowerment is an effective strategy in building sustainable environmental solutions, especially in the face of urban flood challenges.

Dengue fever, malaria, and other mosquito-borne diseases remain significant health problems and challenges in various regions, especially in rural areas. Dengue fever (DBD) is caused by the dengue virus types 1-4, which are transmitted through the bites of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes. The majority of the residents of Karya Mukti Village work as rubber tappers. They usually start their activities early in the morning or even before dawn. However, mosquitoes are most active in the morning and late afternoon, making the local community highly vulnerable to mosquito bites. To address this issue, the people of Karya Mukti Village still widely use mosquito repellents available on the market, which contain harmful chemicals that pose risks to both health and the environment if used over the long term. Therefore, this community service initiative aims to conduct outreach and hands-on training on the use of citronella (Cymbopogon nardus) as a natural mosquito repellent alternative. This program is carried out using a socialization and product-making approach through participatory engagement, where Dasawisma (women's community groups) are encouraged to identify their needs and challenges, as well as appropriate solutions to address them. By involving Dasawisma members in the learning and production process of natural mosquito repellents, it is hoped that they will gain better knowledge and skills in making natural mosquito repellents.

Kanker serviks menduduki urutan kedua dari penyakit kanker yang menyerang wanita di dunia dan urutan pertama untuk wanita di negara sedang berkembang. Indonesia menjadi negara dengan insiden kanker serviks tertinggi di Asia. Lebih dari 50 persennya meninggal dunia. Hal ini karena masih rendahnya pelaksanaan skrining, yaitu 1925.943 atau 5,1%. Padahal, pelaksanaan skrining yang ideal adalah 80%. Inspeksi visual asetat (IVA) merupakan salah satu metode deteksi dini kanker serviks yang sama populer dengan pap smear.
