Abstract

This activity aims to improve the ability and skill of teen dropouts in Berkoh Village by utilizing red ant nests around their yards as a productive business and by mastering the technology of the cultivation of red ants, as ant eggs producers. The approaches employed were classical lectures, discussions, training, direct practice of making demonstration plots, mentoring, coaching, and partnership with the teen dropouts. The empowerment of teen dropouts in Berkoh Village was conducted through several activities, i.e. training of how to make kumbung (red ant growing house) consisting of two houses (4x4x3 m3with six shelvesof 3x0.6x1.9 m), training of constructing red ant nests which yielded 225 jars of red ant nest, and training of harvesting which resulted 22.5-30 grams of ant eggs per five jars of nest. As the conclusion, there was an improvement of teen dropouts’ ability and skill in utilizing red ant nests around their yards as a productive business.
