Irwan added that this assistance is a form of support and alignment of the CSR program from Sido Muncul with the government in order to accelerate the reduction in stunting prevalence rates.
"This is the sixth time we have provided assistance for stunting children. First in South Cipete, Jakarta 13 children, then Semarang Regency 76 children, Gianyar Regency Bali 100 children, through RSI Jakarta Cempaka Putih 40 children, returned to Semarang Regency 95 children and now in Cimahi 150 children. The total we have helped 474 children. We hope that the number of stunting sufferers in Indonesia can soon decrease, so that a generation of people who are healthy and free of stunting will be formed," said Irwan.
Stunting is a chronic problem due to a lack of nutritional intake in the long term, resulting in disruption of growth in children. To support children's growth and development, parents need to provide nutritious food intake and pay attention to their digestive health so that the nutrients that enter the body can be absorbed properly.
