Abstract
Pengurus Pembinaan Kesejahteraan Keluarga (PKK) of Pondok Bambu, East Jakarta, was attended by members ranging in age from 30 to 70 years. There had been training on ginger planting by other parties in Pondok Bambu's RPTRA, but there was no follow-up to this activity so that the ginger plants were not well maintained. These PKK members are used to using traditional ginger medicines to maintain health, but the processing is only limited to hereditary knowledge. As educators and practitioners in the pharmaceutical field, we feel that we have an obligation to provide additional knowledge related to the proper way of treating and utilizing ginger for health. This community service activity aimed to increase the knowledge of PKK members about ginger, improve skills in processing ginger into syrup products in the hope of improving the health as well as using this knowledge to run a business in order to increase the economy of the residents. This activity was held at RPTRA Pondok Bambu Berseri using interactive and demonstration methods. The evaluation results showed an increase in knowledge of PKK members of processing ginger syrup and got the benefits of ginger for the health.

Summary
Pengurus Pembinaan Kesejahteraan Keluarga (PKK) Pondok Bambu, Jakarta timur,memiliki anggota dengan rentang usia berkisar 30 hingga 70 tahun. Beberapa waktu yang lalu pernah diadakan pelatihan penanaman jahe oleh pihak lain di lingkungan RPTRA Pondok Bambu, namun tidak ada tindak lanjut dari kegiatan tersebut, sehingga tanaman jahe tidak terawat dengan baik. Anggota PKK ini sudah terbiasa memanfaatkan obat tradisional jahe untuk menjaga kesehatan, namun pengolahannya baru sebatas pengetahuan secara turuntemurun. Sebagai pendidik dan praktisi di bidang farmasi, maka kami merasa memiliki kewajiban untuk memberikan tambahan ilmu pengetahuan terkait cara pengolahan dan pemanfaatan jahe untuk kesehatan secara benar. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan anggota PKK tentang jahe, meningkatkan keterampilan dalam mengolah jahe menjadi produk sirup dengan harapan dapat meningkatkan kesehatan serta dapat memanfaatkan pengetahuan tersebut untuk menjalankan usaha pembuatan sirup agar dapat meningkat perekonomian warga. Hasil evaluasi dari kegitan menunjukkan peningkatan pengetahuan ibu-ibu PKK ini terkat cara pengolahan sirup jahe dan secara langsung merasakan manfaat jahe
