The main issue identified is the low level of children’s understanding of the importance of nutrition and personal hygiene. Through the GEN-Z SEHAT Program (Nutrition and PHBS Education Movement for Healthy Children and Families in the Village), activities included socialization sessions, hand hygiene demonstrations, and mentoring to develop healthy lifestyle habits. Evaluation results showed an improvement in students’ understanding and behavior in practicing PHBS and healthy eating habits, with average scores categorized as good.
