“Our permission to distribute the assistance we collected for our concern from APPBI DPP and DPD DKI for the stunting program cooperation. We have often heard of Dompet Dhuafa, we have seen it, also several programs have synergized together. We trust and welcome Dompet Dhuafa, opportunities are wide open for synergy with us. Please pray for the good and smooth running of APPBI, “said Rizal.
Welcoming this, Etika Setiawanti as Director of Mobilization Resources of Dompet Dhuafa explained, “Dompet Dhuafa’s stunting program also received appreciation from BKKBN (stunting and elderly). Dompet Dhuafa was also appointed as an official partner for eradicating TB, because our program refers to the SDGs, so Dompet Dhuafa also received the second best appreciation from Bappenas.”
The stunting program will be implemented in the form of PMT (Supplementary Feeding) for undernourished toddlers, as well as nutrition and education posts for the community in Penjaringan District, Pejagalan Village, North Jakarta. In collaboration with the local Puskesmas for implementation, the program intervention will last for 90 days, from September to December 2023.
