Community Empowerment
Vol 8 No 9 (2023)

Gebang Ilir Village is one of the villages in the Gebang District, situated on the northern coast of Java. The community faces several issues, including high stunting rates and a lack of understanding about the usage of family medicinal plants. The method employed in this program involves socialization through presentations and training. As a result of these activities, the community now has a better understanding of stunting and its prevention, as well as knowledge about family medicinal plants and their proper usage. Additionally, our partners have enhanced their skills in using emprit ginger and cardamom to create instant granules.
