Abstract

The Recognition Community Service Program (KKN Rekognisi) at Az-Zahra Orphanage aimed to create a simultaneously educational and religious environment through participatory, educational, and applicative approaches. The program was implemented in three stages: (1) preparation, comprising needs assessment and focus group discussion (FGD); (2) core implementation, including the arrangement of study rooms, establishment of a book bank, evening Qur'an recitation, juz 'amma memorization, and mini sermons; and (3) monitoring and evaluation. The results indicated significant improvements: Qur'an reading proficiency increased from 23% to 69% of children achieving fluency; active participation rose from 40% to 82%; and a permanent learning space with structured activity schedules was established. Key challenges included spatial limitations, caregiver resistance to innovative methods, and power outages, which were addressed through zone rotation, comparative demonstrations, and cross-sector coordination. This program demonstrates that a locally need-based Recognition KKN model is effective in transforming orphanages into environments that foster knowledgeable and morally virtuous generations.
