Continuing Its Collaboration with UKRIDA, Kampoeng Djamoe Organik Martha Tilaar Held Training for Residents in Sukabumi
As a manifestation of Martha Tilaar Group's commitment to empowering
communities, especially women, Kampoeng Djamoe Organik (KaDO) Martha
Tilaar is once again collaborating with Krida Wacana Christian
University (UKRIDA). Following ergonomics training and health checks for
farmers last May, KaDO and UKRIDA are now holding community service
activities in the form of ecoenzyme production training and stunting
prevention training for children (17/7).
Guided by Dr. Ika
Rahayu, S.Si. M.Sc. from UKRIDA, the participants, that consist of PKK women's group in Sundawenang Village, Sukabumi, were taught how to make
ecoenzyme liquid using household kitchen waste, which can be used as
plant fertilizer, all-purpose cleaner, pest repellent, and helps protect
the environment. Through this training, it is hoped that the mothers
can further optimize the benefits of kitchen waste before it is disposed
of in the landfill.
After the ecoenzyme production training,
the PKK women's group also received counseling to help children in the area
avoid stunting. Stunting is a condition of stunted growth in toddlers
(under five years of age) due to chronic malnutrition and repeated
infections, especially during the First 1,000 Days of Life. The mothers in PKK were taught how to choose foods to ensure balanced nutrition for their
children. This is expected to help children grow to a height that meets
health standards. Furthermore, through this event, the mothers were
encouraged to optimize the use of social media such as WhatsApp,
Instagram, and others to motivate each other in preventing stunting.
At
the end of the event, participants "shopped" for nutritious food items
provided by Martha Tilaar's Kampoeng Djamoe Organik. From vegetables and
fruits to proteins like eggs and chicken livers, the participants could
choose what they want and take it home, so they can cook it straight
away at home.
We hope the collaboration between Kampoeng Djamoe Organik Martha Tilaar and UKRIDA can bring knowledge,
benefits, and goodness to the residents of Sundawenang Village,
Sukabumi. Keep Beautifying Indonesia!
