BNI Strengthens Stunting Prevention Program for National Children's Day

PT Bank Negara Indonesia (Persero) Tbk, or BNI, is reinforcing its commitment to preventing stunting through a series of social initiatives planned throughout 2026. This effort is part of the company's contribution to enhancing child health and fostering Indonesia's Golden Generation by 2045.

The "BNI Berbagi" corporate social responsibility program will implement these initiatives in phases, covering nutrition, family education, sanitation, and community health services. Corporate Secretary BNI, Okki Rushartomo, highlighted the importance of addressing stunting, particularly during the crucial first 1,000 days of a child's life, as it forms the foundation for human resource quality.

BNI believes every Indonesian child deserves a healthy start to life to grow and develop optimally.

"BNI believes every Indonesian child deserves a healthy start to life to grow and develop optimally," Rushartomo stated. He emphasized that ensuring children's rights to health, nutrition, and adequate care requires collaboration among government, businesses, healthcare professionals, and the community. BNI aims to accelerate stunting reduction through continued partnerships.

“

Through BNI Berbagi, we continue to strengthen collaboration with various stakeholders to support the acceleration of stunting reduction as part of our contribution to realizing the Golden Generation of Indonesia 2045.

Specific programs include the "Gerakan Orang Tua Asuh Cegah Stunting" (GENTING) in Riau, conducted with the National Population and Family Planning Agency, and the "Desa Sehat Bebas Stunting" (Healthy Village Free from Stunting) program in four villages in Bandung Regency. The latter integrates nutritional support with education, sanitation improvements, and enhanced living conditions, moving beyond mere food aid to address environmental and caregiving factors.

BNI hopes these efforts, aligned with National Children's Day, will provide more Indonesian children with the opportunity to grow healthy and become superior generations. This initiative also marks part of BNI's 80th-anniversary Swadharma Bhakti Nagara spirit, aiming to create a healthy, productive, and competitive generation through sustained collaboration.

We hope that more Indonesian children will have the opportunity to grow healthy, develop optimally, and become superior generations.
