Meningkatkan Nilai Gizi Masyarakat Melalui Program Pemberian Bubur Ayam Sehat di RT. 15, Kelurahan Lingkas Ujung, Tarakan Timur

Abstract

Indonesia ranks 10th in Southeast Asia for stunting cases (short children). Following President Joko Widodo’s statement at the National Working Meeting of the National Population and Family Planning Agency (BKKBN) on Wednesday, January 25, 2023, this community service aims to improve the nutritional value of the community in RT.15, Ujung Lingkas Village, Tarakan, on September 27, 2024, through a healthy chicken porridge distribution program. This program is based on the problem of insufficient balanced nutrition in the area, which impacts the health and well-being of the community. The program involves nutrition education, training on making healthy chicken porridge, and regular distribution of chicken porridge to the community. Data collection methods used observation, interviews, and documentation. The program results show an increase in community knowledge and awareness of balanced nutrition, as well as an increase in nutritional intake through the consumption of healthy chicken porridge. This program is expected to be a model for similar community service programs in other areas, and to encourage the creation of a healthy and prosperous community.
