The method used in this activity was direct lectures to young women at the Abdurrahman bin Auf Islamic Boarding School. This activity received a good response from the Islamic Boarding School and enthusiasm from the participants. Participants can understand the material provided and gain insight and are also expected to contribute to reducing stunting rates in Indonesia.
