GUNUNGKIDUL – DT Peduli Yogyakarta, in collaboration with Iki Telurqu, held a Stunting Awareness and Prevention Workshop in Nglumbung Hamlet, Giricahyo Village, Purwosari District, Gunungkidul, on Thursday (16 October 2025). The activity aimed to raise public awareness about early stunting prevention, particularly among mothers of toddlers and local health cadres.
The main session was delivered by Bambang from BLKB Purwosari, who provided a comprehensive explanation of the dangers of stunting and the vital role of mothers in ensuring proper nutrition for their children during the first 1,000 days of life.
To complement the educational session, a live demonstration on preparing nutritious complementary foods (MPASI) was conducted by local women health cadres from TPP Stunting. Iki Telurqu also contributed by providing eggs as a key source of animal protein for the demonstration.
Novi, DT Peduli Yogyakarta’s Program Manager, emphasised that this activity is part of DT Peduli’s continuous commitment to supporting food security and improving community health.
“Preventing stunting is not just the government’s responsibility — it’s a shared duty for all of us,” said Novi.
Meanwhile, Walidi, Head of Nglumbung Hamlet, expressed his appreciation and hopes that similar educational programs would continue in the future to deepen public understanding of child nutrition and growth.
