Breaking the Cycle of Scavenger Descendants through Entrepreneurial Skill Enhancement and Eradicating Poverty Mentality at Supit Urang Landfill, Malang City
Keywords:
entrepreneurial skills, counseling, supit urangAbstract
The large amount of waste at the Supit Urang landfill has led to an increase in the number of scavengers to 250, of which 30% are school-age children. An empowerment program targeting the descendants of scavengers is needed to prevent them from being trapped in the cycle of prolonged poverty through the Growing School program. The main focus of the Growing School program is (1) the enhancement of entrepreneurial skills and (2) the provision of guidance and counseling services. The implementation method of this program is P6, which consists of: (1) preparation, (2) material preparation, (3) socialization, (4) training, (5) closing, and (6) reporting. By providing training and essential tools, the program has significantly improved the economic and social conditions of the community, though challenges in resource supply and market stability remain. The findings emphasize the program's potential for creating lasting change and highlight the need for ongoing support to ensure sustainability.
