Young coconut has great potential as a raw material for healthy beverage products that can improve the welfare of village communities. This community service activity aims to develop innovative healthy drink products based on young coconut with an Al-Islam and Kemuhammadiyahan approach. Through this program, training and mentoring are provided to village communities in processing young coconuts into healthy beverage products such as pure coconut water, infused coconut water, and coconut smoothies. This activity began with identifying the potential and needs of the community through surveys and focus group discussions. Next, training was conducted on making healthy beverage products that align with the values of Al-Islam and Kemuhammadiyahan, including hygienic and halal processing. In addition, the program also included training on marketing and product promotion strategies to increase market access. The results of this activity are expected to improve the skills and knowledge of the community in processing young coconuts into healthy beverage products with economic value. In addition, it is hoped that a small and medium enterprise (SME) group will be formed that can produce and market products independently. Improving the welfare of village communities through independent and sustainable businesses is the main focus of this program. Monitoring and evaluation are conducted regularly to assess the effectiveness of the program and ensure business sustainability. This program not only aims to improve the economic welfare of village communities but also to strengthen Islamic values in daily business practices, following the principles of Al-Islam and Kemuhammadiyahan. Thus, this young coconut-based healthy drink product innovation is expected to make a positive contribution to improving the welfare of village communities and become a model of community empowerment that can be applied in other areas.
