Abstract

This study aims to evaluate a community empowerment program focused on utilizing coffee husk waste into cascara products in Peron Village. The program was implemented through training, mentoring, and hands-on practice involving local community members. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and pre- and post-program evaluations. The results indicate a significant improvement in participants’ knowledge and skills in processing coffee waste into value-added products. In addition, the program contributed to increased environmental awareness and economic potential. These findings highlight the importance of community-based approaches in promoting sustainable waste management and rural economic development.
