BOGOR – A stunting prevention program was officially launched in Kedung Waringin Village on Wednesday (20 August 2025). The initiative is funded through zakat contributions from PT Paragon in collaboration with DT Peduli, reaching 18 children as direct beneficiaries.

The launch event was attended by the Head of Kedung Waringin Village, local health cadres, and beneficiary families. The program was also complemented with a parenting session delivered by Ely from Yasmina Foundation, themed “The Importance of Nutrition and Parenting in Child Development.”
