The objective to enhance knowledge and skills in transforming readily available Aloe vera into antiseptic hand soap, promoting both health benefits and economic opportunities, is highly relevant and aligns well with sustainable community development goals. This type of intervention is crucial for leveraging local potential to address public health needs and foster self-reliance within rural communities. The methodology employed, incorporating a pretest, didactic material delivery, a hands-on demonstration, and a posttest, is robust for assessing immediate learning outcomes. The reported increase in participants' understanding, from an average pretest score of 90.62% to an impressive 96.87% in the posttest, provides strong quantitative evidence of the activity's effectiveness. This significant improvement indicates that the program successfully conveyed the necessary knowledge and skills, ensuring that the majority of participants gained a high level of comprehension regarding the utility of Aloe vera and its processing into a valuable product. Overall, this activity is presented as a successful model for community engagement that effectively transfers practical knowledge and skills. It not only contributes to improved clean and healthy living behaviors by promoting homemade antiseptic products but also highlights a viable pathway for local economic diversification.
