As part of its Women's Empowerment and Mangrove Ecosystem Restoration Program, Yayasan Ecology Riau Islands (YEKR) in collaboration with Bank Riau Kepri (BRK) Syariah held a Digital Business and Financial Management Training activity for women's groups in Berakit Village. The event occurred at Berakit Village Hall and was attended by 55 participants from five community groups, including Pokmaswas Srikandi, KUEP Melati, KUEP Tenggiri, KUM Panglong, and representatives from YEKR.

In an effort to strengthen community participation in sustainable coastal resource management, community groups in Berakit Village, including the Srikandi Community Supervisory Group (Pokmaswas), the Melati and Tenggiri Women's Economic Business Group (KUEP) and the Panglong Community Business Group, participated in a capacity building program through a series of group administration training and training on the use of mangroves in batik and ecoprint crafts. This program aims to improve the managerial and entrepreneurial skills of the community, so that they can be more independent in managing groups and utilizing environmental potential in a sustainable manner to improve economic welfare.

Berakit Village community groups consisting of the Srikandi Community Supervisory Group (Pokmaswas), the Melati and Tenggiri Women's Economic Business Group (KUEP) and the Panglong Community Business Group have taken the initiative to nurture 50,000 Rhizophora Stylosa mangrove seedlings as a concrete step in preserving coastal ecosystems. This nursery activity is a series of women's empowerment programs and mangrove ecosystem restoration in Berakit Village. This effort is also done as a response to the increasing coastal abrasion, environmental degradation, and climate change impacts that threaten the lives of coastal communities. With a healthy mangrove ecosystem, it is hoped that coastal areas can be protected from erosion and remain a habitat for various marine life that plays a role in the balance of the ecosystem
