Abstract
In the wake of the ongoing global pandemic, maintaining hand hygiene has become paramount to prevent disease transmission. Hand sanitizer serves as a practical solution in situations where access to water and soap is limited, especially in school environments. This article outlines a training program designed for junior high school students participating in the Adiwiyata program, aimed at enhancing their understanding of hand hygiene and empowering them to independently produce hand sanitizer using readily available ingredients. The training program incorporates various steps, including a pre-test to gauge students' initial knowledge, educational sessions highlighting the importance of cleanliness and proper hand hygiene practices, hands-on practice sessions for students to craft hand sanitizer, and post-training evaluation to assess knowledge retention and practical skills. Results indicate a significant improvement in students' knowledge and practical abilities in hand sanitizer production, as well as a heightened awareness of the importance of hand hygiene in disease prevention. By equipping students with the skills to create their own hand sanitizer, the training not only promotes individual health but also aligns with the objectives of the Adiwiyata program by reducing reliance on commercial products containing potentially harmful chemicals and fostering a cleaner, healthier school environment.
