Abstract

Stunting is a serious global public health challenge and a major concern in Indonesia. Stunting refers to impaired child growth, primarily caused by nutritional deficiencies during early development. Data from the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia indicates that the prevalence of stunting in children in 2023 reached 21,6%, highlighting malnutrition in children as an urgent issue. Various approaches have been undertaken to address this problem, including the Ciherang Stunting Corner, which is the focus in the Ciherang Village, West Java. The method used in this study is quantitative, with a survey approach and data collection. This program emphasizes a community-based and holistic approach to stunting prevention. By involving the community in planning and implementing nutritional interventions, the program can provide solutions tailored to local needs while addressing sanitation and environmental aspects. Initial results show increased community awareness of nutrition and participation in child growth monitoring. Furthermore, the Community Service Learning (KKN) approach has helped to raise awareness about nutrition issues and gather crucial data to support stunting prevention efforts. Integrating the Ciherang Stunting Corner model with a significant reduction in stunting rates is a strategic step in addressing this issue in Indonesia, offering hope for a brighter future for the nation's next generation.

Abstract

This article discusses stunting, a child growth problem caused by a lack of adequate nutrition, which is a severe issue in Indonesia, especially in rural areas. The research method used in this article is mixed methods. Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia (UPI) students are crucial in tackling this problem through the Desantri program in Ciherang Village, Cianjur Regency. This program aims to increase family nutrition awareness and reduce stunting rates. This involves nutrition counseling, monitoring of children's growth, and distribution of nutritional supplements. As a result, this program reduced the village's stunting rate. This article highlights the importance of good nutrition and adequate nutrition in preventing stunting and the critical role of students as agents of social change in overcoming this problem. The collaboration between students, health workers, and the community in this program shows that collaboration can effectively solve the problem of stunting in various regions, helping children grow healthily and setting a positive example for similar initiatives.
