Khofifah Asks NU Cadres To Prepare 1,000 Kitchens For Free Nutrition Eating Programs

JAKARTA - Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Central Muslimat Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), Khofifah Indar Parawansa asked all NU Muslimat cadres to prioritize the preparation of 1,000 healthy kitchens for Free Nutrition (MBG).

"To all Muslims, what we prioritize is that we ask to immediately prepare facilitation, to become partners of the Free Nutrition Food (MBG) program. We have collaborated and communicated with the Head of BGN. Approximately Muslimat will get 1,000 healthy kitchen points," said Khofifah in Surabaya, Sunday.

Khofifah advised Muslim cadres to identify how many healthy kitchens are organizing MBG.

Ditegaskan Gubernur Jatim Terpilih periode 2025-20230 ini, sinergi dengan BGN bahwa Muslimat akan menyiapkan kitchen sehat sangat enthusiastically disambut oleh para pengurus Muslimat NU di daerah, salah satunya adalah Papua.

"Yang kemarin memberikan respons luar biasa adalah daerah-region di Papua. Ini sangat luar biasa untuk bisa menyediakan kebutuhan hijar bagi anak-anak bangsa hingga sejauh negeri," ujarnya.

Khofifah also explained that this congress also made changes to the organizational structure in the NU Muslimat. For the NU Muslimat Central Leadership, there is now the General Chairperson of the NU Muslimat PP Board, in addition to the Chair of PPMNU.

Arifah Choiri Fauzi, who is currently the Minister of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection, was elected as Chair of the PP Muslimat NU for the period 2025-2030.

"So, at this congress there is a change in the strengthening of the structure in the Board of Trustees, namely there is the General Chairperson of the Board of Trustees, then in the central board there is the Chairman of the NU Muslimat. So, the general chairman is in the Board of Trustees, while the chairman of the Muslimat is the chairman, not the general chairman, roughly the structure is like that," said Khofifah.

Khofifah expressed her appreciation and thousands of thanks for the enthusiasm and dedication that has been given during the congress.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please return to your respective areas, thank you. I love you full," said Khofifah.
