Community Empowerment through a Movement with Healthy Kitchen to Overcome Stunting
Stunting which occurs in childhood is a major obstacle to human development. Stunting can be caused by many factors, including Malnutrition and recurrent infections in the first 1000 days of life. Stunting has long-term impacts on individuals and society, including impaired cognitive development, impaired physical growth, decreased productivity, decreased immunity, and increased risk of degenerative diseases. The results of the activity were measured to be very effective in increasing mothers' knowledge about stunting and nutrition, whereas the results of the post-non-test showed that there was an increase in the number of participants in the very good knowledge category compared to the pre-non-test results of 8 people (20%) increased to 25 people (62.5%) meaning there was an increase in the number of participants whose knowledge increased by 42.5%.
