Abstract

Stunting is a global nutritional problem, especially in developing countries like Indonesia. Children suffering from stunting are generally characterized by impaired growth due to poor nutrition or recurrent infections. This condition has long-term effects, such as decreased physical and cognitive development, poor health, and an increased risk of degenerative diseases. Several provinces in Indonesia still have a stunting prevalence rate of over 30%, one of which is Aceh, with a rate of 31.2%. Therefore, stunting poses a significant health challenge in Aceh Province, including Aceh Besar District. This activity aims to raise awareness about stunting and its prevention through education and support from local government policies. It also aims to implement procedures for handling stunting cases by providing probiotic supplements in Sukamakmur District, Aceh Besar Regency. During this activity, probiotic supplements were given to children suffering from stunting for one month, which increased the child's appetite, body weight, and height. Thus, through education and support from government policies, along with the provision of probiotic supplements, this combination effectively reduces stunting rates. It is hoped that this initiative program can be sustainable.
