Technique sampling used purposive sampling, that was as many as 15 experimental samples and 15 control samples. Hypothesis testing variables used Mann Whitney generate value of knowledge (p = 0,047), attitude (p = 0.003) and visits (p = 0.000). All test variables resulted in p value <0,05 so there was a meaningful difference between the groups with the empowerment of the ANC cadres with the group without empowerment of the ANC cadres. It was concluded that the empowerment of the ANC cadres can increase knowledge, attitude and ANC visit. Suggestions for the cadres are expected to implement programs and continue the cadres of the ANC.
