Abstract

A prosperous family, in general, is one that can meet its fundamental necessities such as food, clothing, housing, health, and education. At the moment, not only do males contribute to the economic well-being of the family, but women do as well. Especially in the present Covid-19, where household income is anticipated to diminish because to falling demand for products and services. This motivated the women to assist their spouse in improving the economy. Women can assist raise their income through gardening, selling, and honing their skills and creativity to start a new business. The role of women in increasing the family's economic well-being, which requires women to have a skill or ability to improve, could result in a product that could be turned into a new business. However, not all women are eager to learn and try their hand at entrepreneurship. Limited business knowledge is a hurdle for society, particularly for women, who want to create their own businesses. The goal of this project is to move and expand the creativity of rural women so that their skills and creativity can become startups or early ideas for new businesses, which will hopefully help improve the family economy. This project was created in, Serang Banten, Indonesia. The method of implementation will be carried out well by conducting community development in a compelling and informative manner, and mapping connected to commercial interests of village women consisting of women of the region.
