Abstract
This community service activity aims to enhance financial literacy and management skills among Indonesian Migrant Workers (PMI) at the Indonesian Consulate General in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. Given the large number of PMI working abroad, particularly in Malaysia, financial literacy is crucial to help them manage their income wisely and maximize their financial well-being and that of their families. The methods employed in this activity include counseling, basic financial management training, and mentoring in financial planning. The material presented covers topics such as the importance of saving, basic investment, debt management, and how to avoid financial fraud. The activity successfully improved the participants' understanding and awareness of the importance of financial literacy and provided them with practical skills to better manage their income. Evaluation results indicated that participants became more capable of budgeting, setting aside income for savings, and making long-term financial plans. This positive impact is expected to be sustained and assist PMI in achieving better financial stability and well-being.
