BEM FIKes UNISA Yogyakarta which has passed the PPK Ormawa selection series organized by Kemdikbudristek with the title of preventing stunting with the Cestu De Nawa Program: Preventing Stunting with Vegetable and Animal Protein in Senangagung MInggir Village.

In this opening activity, the Ormawa BEM FIKes UNISA Yogykarta PPK Team held counseling related to basic knowledge of stunting and its prevention which was discussed in detail.
The Capacity Strengthening Program (PPK) Team of the Student Organization (ORMAWA) of the Student Executive Board (BEM) of the Faculty of Health Sciences (FIKes) of Universitas ‘Aisyiyah (UNISA) Yogyakarta held the opening of the PPK Ormawa BEM FIKes UNISA Yogyakarta at Sendangagung Village Hall, Minggir (5/7).
Emilia Dani Safitri, as the team leader of PPK Ormawa BEM FIKes UNISA Yogyakarta revealed that this activity is an ongoing activity by involving the village to optimize efforts to prevent stunting.
“We initiated this activity based on our background from a health-based university. Previously, we researched data related to stunting cases in Yogyakarta, and found that the highest prevalence was in Minggir sub-district, especially Sendangagung village. So, we are trying to help in efforts to prevent and reduce the prevalence of stunting in Sendangagung Village.” Emilia said.
Yekti revealed that this activity hopes to get positive benefits for the village and can train students in community service activities.
“We hope that this activity can help increase knowledge about stunting in detail and support the Minggir Puskesmas program in stunting prevention efforts. Hopefully this activity will not only end when this series of PPK ormawa activities are completed, but will continue independently when this series of activities has ended. Don’t worry about what needs to be brought during the activity, because the facilities have been prepared from students. So, let’s work together in achieving several indicators of success in this activity.” Yekti said.
The Head of Sendangagung Village, Raden Heru Prasetya, S.E., M.IP also expressed his gratitude for the dedication of UNISA Yogyakarta who has been willing to carry out activities in Sendangagung village.
“Being a student in the field of health science is certainly very extraordinary, because this is a humanitarian call that has become commonplace for health students to always care for and empower people in the field of health welfare. This activity will last for about 2 months with some stimulation training on stunting prevention efforts with adequate nutritious food which later this activity will produce a Micro Business output that we will manage ourselves.” Heru said.
This PPK ORMAWA activity will last for 2 months, the next meeting will discuss the material “Processing of Food Sources of Vegetable Protein and Animal Protein” with the hope that Health cadres can implement processed food products with high protein but still remain economical. We also facilitate Entrepreneurship Training so that when the PPK Ormawa activity contract has ended, Sendangagung Village can independently manage the distribution and management of processed products that have been learned. There are several success indicators determined that hopefully can be achieved when this activity takes place, and of course requires the support and cooperation of all parties involved.
