Abstrak
Women who belong to socioeconomically vulnerable groups often face limited access to economic resources, education, and social support. In Jayagiri Village, Lembang Sub-district, West Bandung Regency, a community-based entrepreneurship program has been developed to empower women through a participatory social approach. This study aims to describe the social empowerment strategies implemented in the program and their impact on the socioeconomic conditions of group members. Using a descriptive qualitative method, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. The research findings show that a combination of training, mentoring, and strengthening community networks plays an important role in enhancing women's capacity and self-confidence. The program also contributes to transforming the roles of women within their households and communities.
