Abstract

Women often become marginalized in society because of their powerlessness in contributing to family income sources, particularly to poor families. The socio-economic empowerment of women, especially housewives, becomes important in order to raise the dignity of women as well as to sustain family income. This community service activity aims to make women, especially housewives become more empowered, in the sense of better understanding the importance of organizing, having skills as an alternative to job diversification, and bettering the level of their economic welfare. To achieve these objectives, the method of devotion used is lecture and discussion techniques, handicrafts training "meronce" by providing tools and equipment, and strengthening management of existing organizations of existing business groups. The results of the devotion show that women belonging to two Joint Business Groups can understand the lectures conveyed in relation to organizational matters which can be seen from the questions they raised in the discussion sessions. In addition, some members of the women's group also possessed the "meronce" skills where they had gained in training conducted by the Village Administration. Limited capital they have, making them have not been able to pass it on to members of the group. In addition to limited capital, access to marketing of handicrafts is also a major obstacle.
