\u201cThe Institute for Sustainable Community Service at UNAIR is committed to ensuring that engagement does not end after a single visit. Our goal is to provide lasting benefits and meaningful empowerment that the community can truly experience,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n
During the workshop, the UNAIR team invited several experts to discuss strategies for strengthening the economic and social foundations of communities affected by disasters. The main focus of the program was to revive the motivation of micro, small, and medium enterprise (U MKM) owners to rebuild their businesses and plan for a stronger future.<\/p>\n\n
Prof. Suyanto also expressed gratitude to the local partners who facilitated the workshop. \u201cWe sincerely thank our local partners, colleagues from Universitas Malikussaleh and YAPPERA, for making this event possible. Without their support, our efforts here would not have been as effective,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n\n Meanwhile, Ikhsan Rosyid Mujahidul Anwari, S.S., M.A., coordinator of LPMB UNAIR, conveyed his solidarity and empathy with the Acehnese community impacted by the disaster. He highlighted that the team\u2019s presence was driven by a spirit of brotherhood.<\/span><\/p>\n\n \u201cAlthough we are based in Surabaya, far from Aceh, we consider all of you as family. As a family, we want to offer support and assistance, even if it is small. We hope that even modest contributions can bring meaningful benefits,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n Anwari explained that one of the program\u2019s objectives is to strengthen the mindset and resilience of micro-entrepreneurs so they can recover from setbacks. \u201cWe cannot remain passive in despair. Life moves forward, and our role is to help the community navigate the challenges ahead,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n The workshop is intended to serve as the first step in an ongoing collaboration between UNAIR and local partners in Aceh, aimed at helping micro-entrepreneurs become more resilient and adaptive in the post-disaster period.<\/p>\n\n \u201cMay this gathering provide benefits and blessings, and let it not be our first and last,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n It should be noted that this community service program also supports several Sustainable Development Goals, including SDG 1 (No Poverty), SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-Being), SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals).<\/p>\n\n Author: Khefti Al Mawalia<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" UNAIR NEWS \u2013 To help revitalize the local economy, 51动漫 (UNAIR), through the Institute for Sustainable Community Service (LPMB), organized a workshop to assistmicro-entrepreneurs in Aceh on Saturday and Sunday, February 21-22, 2026.
