Abstract

This community service program aims to improve environmental literacy among children at the Al Mizan Orphanage through training on recycling used cooking oil into value-added products. Thirty participants participated in the activity and included a combination of demonstration sessions, discussions, and evaluations. The main activity involved a hands-on demonstration of soap-making from used cooking oil, designed to provide a practical understanding of waste management and sustainable product creation. Participants actively engaged in discussions about the environmental impacts of improper oil disposal and the economic potential of recycled products. A questionnaire evaluation showed that participants' knowledge and awareness of environmental sustainability significantly increased after the training. Overall, the program effectively improved environmental literacy and fostered positive attitudes toward waste recycling among participants.
