Providing education on how to wash hands properly is an important effort to increase awareness of clean and healthy living, especially for young children. Children at this age are in a very rapid developmental stage, so the information and habits taught are more easily absorbed and formed into daily behavior. However, children's awareness and understanding of the importance of hygiene, especially handwashing, is still relatively low. Therefore, health education is essential to instill good habits from an early age. Washing hands with soap is one of the Clean and Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors (PHBS) that is effective in preventing the spread of various types of diseases, especially diseases transmitted through hands, such as diarrhea, ARI, and skin infections. PHBS about handwashing must be a habit applied in daily life, both in the family, school, and community environment. This educational activity was carried out at St. Francis Xaverius Pineleng Catholic Kindergarten with the aim of increasing knowledge and forming handwashing behavior according to the six recommended handwashing steps. The implementation method included providing educational materials, showing a video song that teaches the six steps of handwashing, demonstrations by the implementer, and direct practice by the children with movements and songs. The results of the activity showed an increase in children's knowledge and skills in washing their hands properly. The children demonstrated enthusiasm and active participation during the educational process. It is hoped that teachers and parents will continue to encourage children to practice hand hygiene to prevent illness and foster healthy lifestyles from an early age.

Diarrhea is still the leading cause of infant morbidity and mortality in Indonesia, especially in areas with limited access to clean water and adequate sanitation. This community service activity is carried out with the aim of increasing maternal knowledge about the signs and symptoms of diarrhea in children, increasing maternal awareness in maintaining children's hygiene and health to prevent diarrhea, and providing practical training on early treatment of diarrhea. This activity involved 30 mothers who have early childhood in Bangun Rejo Village, Tanjung Morawa District. The methods used include interactive lectures, group discussions, demonstrations of making oralite solution (ORS), correct handwashing practices, and distribution of educational leaflets. Evaluation was carried out through pre-test and post-test to measure the increase in participants' knowledge before and after the activity. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in maternal understanding of the prevention and treatment of diarrhea. Participants were able to identify early symptoms of diarrhea, practice how to make ORS correctly, and show readiness to take the child to a health facility if signs of dehydration appear. This activity proves that community-based health education is effective in increasing maternal knowledge and preparedness in preventing and treating diarrhea in children. Strengthening similar educational programs is essential to be implemented sustainably, especially in areas with a high risk of diarrheal diseases. These efforts can make a real contribution to reducing the incidence of diarrhea and improving the health status of children in vulnerable communities.

Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS) is all health behavior carried out with awareness so that family or family members can help themselves in the health sector and can play an active role in health activities in the community (Proverawati & Rahmawati 2016).
