Lawcus FH UNSRI Aims to Empower Muara Dua Village

The Law Intellectual Society (Lawcus) at the Sriwijaya University School of Law is once again holding the “Lawcus Mengabdi 2.0” program. This initiative focuses on empowering rural communities through the law, environmental protection, and financial literacy.

The program chair, M. Tiven Qulyubi, said the program targets Muara Dua Village, Pemulutan Subdistrict, Ogan Ilir Regency. During the Pro 4 RRI Palembang Community Chat on Thursday, April 30, 2026, Tiven explained that the village was selected following a survey and direct interviews.

“We want to build a more empowered rural community,” said Tiven. The program will run for four days from May 21–24, 2026, involving approximately 60 students.

The “Lawcus Mengabdi 2.0” initiative is based on three main pillars of community service: legal education, financial literacy, and environmental education.

For the legal aspect, the students invited lecturers from the Unsri Faculty of Law. The material focused on early marriage, inheritance disputes, and basic children’s rights.

“We see that legal issues still frequently arise in villages,” said Tiven. Therefore, legal education is considered essential for the community.

In the financial sector, Lawcus is collaborating with Gen LIMAS South Sumatra. Education is delivered through Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and interactive engagement with residents.

Meanwhile, the environmental sector is partnering with the Ogan Ilir Regency Environmental Agency (DLH). Students will teach how to make eco-enzymes and manage household waste.

Allya Latifa, a member of the Lawcus Mengabdi 2.0 organizing committee, explained that the approach involves direct engagement with the community. The team will visit residents’ homes before the program begins.

“We want residents to be actively involved, not just listen to lectures,” she said. Such participatory methods are considered more effective for rural communities.

Another committee member, Yogi Dinar Ilhami, said this program serves as a platform for students to fulfill their social responsibilities. Students are expected to become more concerned about environmental and community issues.

“The younger generation must be more sensitive to environmental and social issues,” he said. He hopes the program will have a long-term impact on the community of Muara Dua Village.

At the end of the broadcast, Lawcus FH Unsri announced that they are also accepting donations and seeking community partnerships. Donations of basic food supplies, clothing, and school supplies will be distributed directly to the residents of Muara Dua Village during the event.
