Severe malnutrition, particularly stunting, remains a grave threat to the future of Indonesia’s children.

According to the 2024 Indonesian Nutritional Status Survey (SSGI), the national stunting prevalence has fallen to 19.8%. Despite this decline, the figure still means that nearly 1 in 5 Indonesian children are at risk of impaired physical and mental development due to nutritional deficiencies during the first 1,000 days of life. The government aims to further reduce this to 18.8% by 2025 through various specific and sensitive nutritional interventions.

In reality, remote regions and underprivileged families are the most vulnerable. The current reduction in stunting does not happen in isolation; it requires the combined efforts of the public, organizations, and voluntary donors.

Every donation towards child nutrition is an act of building a healthy and productive Indonesian generation. Your support plays a direct role in combating stunting, helping to meet nutritional requirements, and providing essential contributions for Indonesian children to reach their full potential.
