Pengurus Panti Asuhan ‘Aisyiyah Kasih Ibu menyadari masih kurangnya program kegiatan yang bisa menambah soft skill anak asuh yang dapat menjadi modal anak nantinya dalam memasuki dunia kerja. Dari SOP pengasuhan, hanya tercantum tiga kegiatan keterampilan hidup (live skill) yaitu keterampilan memasak kue, menjahit dan komputer. Minimnya pelatihan keterampilan ini dikhawatirkan akan melemahkan kemampuan anak dalam membangun masa depannya di kemudian hari. Untuk kedepan, pihak panti berkeinginan agar anak-anak panti bisa mendapatkan pelatihan keterampilan yang bisa menghasilkan produk yang laku di pasaran. Selama ini memang sudah pernah dilakukan pelatihan keterampilan yang dilakukan oleh pihak ketiga, akan tetapi belum ada diantara pelatihan tersebut yang berkelanjutan dan menghasilkan produk yang laku dipasarkan. Cabe merah merupakan salah satu bumbu yang tidak bisa dipisahkan lagi dengan keseharian kita, bersifat gampang busuk dan harga sering berfluktuasi. Dengan teknologi cabe segar dapat diolah lebih lanjut menjadi aneka produk olahan seperti cabe kering, cabe bubuk, pasta cabe, dan bermacam-macam saos cabe. Disamping dapat memperpanjang umur simpan produk, pengolahan cabe merah juga merupakan peluang usaha yang menjanjikan. Dengan memperhatikan hal di atas dan berdasarkan diskusi tim pengusul dengan pengurus panti, maka disepakati untuk mengajukan suatu Program Kemitraan Masyarakat (PKM) dalam mengolah cabe merah menjadi aneka produk olahan cabe diantaranya cabe kering, cabe bubuk, abon cabe, pasta cabe dan aneka saos cabe. Bentuk kegiatan yang dilakukan diantaranya pendidikan dan penyuluhan mengenai teknologi pengolahan tanaman hortikultura khususnya cabe merah, pelatihan pembuatan aneka pengolahan cabe merah, pengemasan, pemasaran dan analisis usaha. Kegiatan pengabdian yang telah dilakukan dapat meningkatkan keberdayaan, pengetahuan dan keterampilan mitra kegiatan.
