The aim of this activity is to provide outreach and education to the community so that the problems of stunting (poor nutrition) and wasting (slow growth) can continue to be reduced. BPS data for 2022 shows that the stunting rate in Tangerang City is still relatively high, namely 11.8%, although it has decreased by 3.5% from 2021, namely 15.3%.  This activity was held in one of the sub-districts in the Tangerang city area which has a very dense population, namely Jurumudi Baru Sub-district. The activities run for one day through thematic Real Work Lecture (KKN) activities assisted by students participating in KKN. The results of the activity showed that the community had high enthusiasm in listening to the presentation on preventing and handling stunting. The implications of this activity show that the Tangerang city government is very serious about reducing stunting cases.
