Abstract

Gunung Balohen Village is part of the Kebayakan sub-district, Central Aceh Regency. Most of the population make a living as coffee farmers. The livelihood of the wives of farmers is very dependent on the income of their husbands. In their food consumption, they often consume chicken meat than fish. They are only able to process chicken meat into a side dish for their daily food which of course the activities in processing this food are carried out by mothers. These women from Gunung Balohen Village have the potential to be able to live without depending on their husband's income and also have the potential to process food made from chicken meat so that the women are able to live independently without depending on their husband's income and increase family income. Given this kind of condition, there needs to be an effort to improve the economy and partners to improve skills with a touch of science and technology. For this reason, it is necessary to empower mothers, in an effort to increase knowledge and independence in life. The Community Partnership Program (PKM) in Gunung Balohen Village, Kebayakan District, Central Aceh Regency in collaboration with women is expected to help partner problems.
