<![CDATA[Stunting remains a major public health problem affecting human resource quality, one of the causes of which is suboptimal complementary feeding practices. This community empowerment activity aimed to improve the knowledge of mothers of infants aged 0–12 months regarding complementary feeding as an effort to prevent stunting. The method used was health education through interactive lectures, distribution of leaflets, and food texture demonstration tools, accompanied by pretest and posttest evaluation. The activity involved 20 mothers who had been previously registered. The results showed an increase in the average knowledge score from 7.6 in the pretest to 8.8 in the posttest. This improvement indicates that the education provided effectively enhanced mothers' understanding, particularly regarding the timing of feeding, age-appropriate food texture, and nutritional adequacy. Overall, this community empowerment activity contributed to improving maternal knowledge and has the potential to support appropriate feeding practices to prevent stunting sustainably. It is recommended that community empowerment activities be conducted in a sustainable, integrated manner to expand the reach of complementary feeding (MP-ASI) education to a broader population of mothers of young children.]]>
