Efforts to Prevent Stunting in Children Through Balanced Nutrition Education and Moringa Pudding Innovation
Stunting among toddlers remains a significant public health concern influenced by limited knowledge of balanced nutrition, economic constraints, and a lack of dietary diversity within households. This community service program aimed to improve children's nutritional status and community knowledge in stunting prevention through the provision of locally based supplementary food in the form of Moringa pudding. The activities included balanced nutrition education, preparation, and distribution of Moringa pudding as complementary food. The results showed an absolute increase of 11.1 points, equivalent to a 16.3% improvement in participants’ knowledge. Moreover, the program received a high level of enthusiasm from mothers, who actively participated in the preparation of Moringa pudding and expressed commitment to adopting it as a nutritious alternative food for their families
