UNISA Yogyakarta Leads Free Nutritious Meal Trial, Improving Quality of Young Generation
Universitas `Aisyiyah (UNISA) Yogyakarta has once again demonstrated its commitment to improving the quality of education and health in Indonesia. This time, UNISA Yogyakarta was trusted by the Government of the Republic of Indonesia to lead a free nutritious meal trial program in a number of Aisyiyah kindergartens and Muhammadiyah elementary schools, Monday (02/12).
Providing Free Nutritious Food
As a university with a nutrition study program, UNISA Yogyakarta plays an active role in designing a balanced nutritious food menu that suits the needs of early childhood and elementary school. The menu served is not only delicious, but also contains complete nutrients needed to support the physical and mental growth of children.
Chairperson of ‘Aisyiyah, Dr. Siti Noordjannah Djohantini, MM, M.Si, expressed her high hopes for this program. “We hope that this free nutritious food program can be the first step to improving the quality of Indonesia’s human resources. Through good nutrition, we want children to grow up healthy, smart, and with character,” said Noordjannah.
Noordjannah also emphasized the importance of the values of togetherness, discipline, and mutual cooperation that can be instilled through eating together. “We want to create a healthy and fun eating culture among children, as well as strengthen the relationship,” Noordjannah added.
UNISA Yogyakarta fully supports this program. According to the Rector of UNISA Yogyakarta, Dr. S.Kp., M.Kep., Sp.Mat, UNISA’s involvement is a form of community service and a real contribution in building the nation’s golden generation.
“We are very grateful for the trust given by the government. Our nutritionist team has worked hard to develop a menu that is suitable and safe for children to consume,” said Warsiti.
During the trial process, the team from UNISA Yogyakarta directly monitored the distribution and interacted with the children who received the free nutritious food packages. The enthusiasm of the children was very high, as seen from their cheerful faces while enjoying the food.
