Nutrition Support Program Aims to Improve Child Health in Rural Berau

Despite a national decline in stunting rates, improving child nutrition remains a critical task in many regions, particularly for school-aged children. In Berau Regency, East Kalimantan, PT Anugerah Agung Prima Abadi (AAPA) is actively addressing this challenge through its "TAP Untuk Negeri" initiative, which includes the "Susu Sehat Bernutrisi" (SEHATI) program.

The SEHATI program focuses on providing nutritious milk to students at SDN 001 Muara Lesan and SDN 001 Lesan Dayak, located near the company's operational areas. By distributing milk regularly, the program aims to supplement the children's nutritional intake and support their optimal growth and development. Adequate nutrition is considered a vital factor in human resource development, influencing not only health but also long-term learning abilities and overall development.

According to UNICEF Indonesia, various forms of malnutrition, including undernutrition and micronutrient deficiencies, continue to pose challenges to children's optimal development. Peterson, the headmaster of SDN 001 Muara Lesan, expressed gratitude for the milk donation, stating it benefits the students' health and serves as encouragement for them to pursue their education and dreams. He thanked the company for its attention to the future of the nation's next generation in Kampung Muara Lesan and Lesan Dayak.

The SEHATI program underscores the importance of corporate social responsibility in addressing nutritional needs. AAPA's initiative demonstrates that improving child nutrition is not solely the government's responsibility but requires the involvement of businesses and other stakeholders to ensure more children have access to adequate food. As Indonesia strives towards its "Golden Indonesia 2045" vision for human resource development, such initiatives are crucial for enhancing the quality of life for the younger generation.

The nutritious milk assistance not only benefits the children's health but also serves as encouragement for them to continue learning and achieve their dreams. We thank the company for paying attention to the future of the nation's next generation in Kampung Muara Lesan and Lesan Dayak.
