Seeing this potential, the Giri Mulya learning community aims to provide education related to entrepreneurship to help develop village potential targeting women. These women are expected to be able to support the achievement of a program. In carrying out a program, there are inhibiting and supporting factors. This research aims to determine the processes and factors that support and hinder women's empowerment in entrepreneurial learning in villages, which are learning communities. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. The informants were learning community organizers, facilitators, village communities, and community leaders.
