Provinsi Nusa Tenggara Barat berada pada urutan tertinggi ke empat dengan prevalensi stunting sebesar 32,7%. Prevalensi data stunting di Kabupaten Lombok Barat sebesar 34%. Tingginya angka stunting ini disebabkan karena kurangnya pengetahuan masyarakat khususnya ibu balita tentang cara memenuhi kebutuhan gizi seimbang, praktik pemberian makan yang tidak tepat, serta pengenalan dan pemanfaatan bahan pangan lokal yang ada di sekitar desa.

West Nusa Tenggara Province ranks fourth highest with a stunting prevalence of 32.7%. The stunting prevalence in West Lombok Regency is 34%. The high stunting rates are attributed to a lack of knowledge among the community, particularly among mothers of toddlers, regarding how to meet balanced nutritional needs, improper feeding practices, and the introduction and utilization of local food sources available in the village. This activity aims to implement the Healthy Kitchen to Overcome Stunting by providing education and direct assistance to the community as an effort to meet balanced nutritional needs by utilizing local food ingredients. The implementation method of this service consists of 4 stages: (1) Planning, which includes identification, mapping, problem formulation, and capacity building; (2) Execution, consisting of pre-tests, outreach, DASHAT implementation, and communication, information, and education; (3) Observation and Evaluation, through direct assistance during activities and post-tests; (4) Sustainability; providing support and guidance for program sustainability. Based on the results of the pretest, it was found that knowledge was in the poor category at 50% (10 people), while the measurement of attitudes showed that 65% (13 people) of mothers had a negative attitude. In the posttest results, it was found that respondents had knowledge in the good category at 80% (16 people), while the measurement of attitudes showed that 75% (15 people) of mothers had a positive attitude in providing children's nutritional needs. The conclusion of this community service activity is that there has been an increase in knowledge and a positive change in attitude among mothers who received education and guidance on the the Healthy Kitchen to Overcome Stunting movement practices.
