Students from the Real Work Field Study Program (KKN) Group 39 of ‘Aisyiyah University (UNISA) Yogyakarta carried out an educational program and practical action to prevent anemia at MTs 3 Bantul. This activity, which was aimed at all ninth grade female students, was motivated by the high incidence of anemia among adolescents, which can interfere with their concentration in class and reduce their academic performance.

Ammara, a member of KKN Group 34, explained that the activity, which took place on Tuesday (8/26/2025), began in the morning after reciting the Qur’an. The KKN students provided interactive material on anemia, ranging from its definition and symptoms to its adverse effects on health. The material was presented in an enjoyable manner using PowerPoint and light discussions so that the students could understand it more easily.

As a concrete step, the KKN students also conducted health tests to measure the hemoglobin (Hb) levels of the female students. They also distributed Iron Supplement Tablets (TTD) and provided education on the proper way to consume them and the importance of taking TTD regularly.

Through this activity, UNISA Yogyakarta KKN students hope that the female students of MTs 3 Bantul will have a better understanding of the importance of preventing anemia from an early age. With awareness of nutritious eating habits and the practice of consuming TTD, it is hoped that they will grow into a healthy, active, and accomplished generation.

Universitas ‘Aisyiyah (UNISA) Yogyakarta, through its Community Service Program (PKM), actively supports women’s economic empowerment. In collaboration with the Nogotirto Branch of Aisyiyah (PRA), UNISA held training and mentoring sessions for a local culinary business called KURATO (Kuliner Ranting Aisyiyah Nogotirto). This program aims to improve the capacity, creativity, and innovation of culinary products so that they are more competitive.

The KURATO business, which is managed by the PRA Nogotirto Economic Council, has great potential, but still faces challenges in terms of hygiene and nutritional standards. The PKM team from the Faculty of Economics, Social Sciences, and Humanities (FEISHum) UNISA Yogyakarta, led by Dian Retnaningdiah, S.E., M.Si., along with team members from the Nutrition Science Program, Kurnia Mar’atus Solichah, S.Gz., M.Gz., are working to address these issues. The program runs from March to August 2025.

“This program is expected to not only create innovative and nutritious culinary businesses but also strengthen economic competitiveness through an understanding of proper management aspects,” said Dian.

To support innovation, the PKM team donated a number of cooking utensils, such as Teflon pans, plates, bowls, spoons, and aprons. These utensils will be used to produce two new KURATO flagship products. All KURATO members, chaired by Ir. Sudjatini, M.P., play an active role in every stage, from production and packaging to distribution.

The chairperson of PRA Nogotirto, Dra. Sri Wahyuni, expressed her appreciation for this collaboration.

“The establishment of the KURATO PRA Nogotirto business has increased the number of productive economic enterprises. The presence of KURATO not only brings economic value, but also product innovation that excels in terms of hygiene and nutritional quality,” she said.

With the support of UNISA Yogyakarta, KURATO is expected to become a model for empowering local women to achieve economic independence and high competitiveness.

The prevalence of bullying cases has become a serious concern for the education sector. In response to this challenge, students from the Community Service Program (KKN) of Universitas ‘Aisyiyah (UNISA) Yogyakarta Group 71 held an anti-bullying and ethics education activity at SD Negeri Serangan, Notoprajan, Ngampilan, Yogyakarta, on Monday (08/25/2025). The activity was attended by 17 fifth-grade students and was directly supervised by the Field Supervisor (DPL), Bdn. Siti Arifah, S.ST., M.H.Kes.

The activity began with a cheerful introduction session, followed by chants to lighten the mood. UNISA Yogyakarta KKN students then explained in simple terms the meaning and types of bullying, both verbal and non-verbal, that often occur in school environments. The students were invited to discuss how to refuse, avoid, and report bullying appropriately.

The students also provided material on the importance of ethics in daily life, such as speaking politely to teachers and friends, maintaining cleanliness, and respecting one another. To reinforce understanding, the students were involved in role-playing games that illustrated bullying situations and ethical behavior. Through this method, the students could directly practice the correct way to behave.

Arifah, as the DPL, explained that the highlight of this activity was the creative session of making anti-bullying posters. Students expressed their understanding through pictures and writing, such as “Stop Bullying” and “Respect Teachers and Friends.” The posters were then displayed in the classroom as reminders.

“Say No to Bullying, Say Yes to Ethics!” was the closing slogan chanted in unison by all students and KKN participants. This activity not only broadened their knowledge but also instilled positive values so that students can create a safe, comfortable, and harmonious school environment.
