Abstract

Community Service Activities in Bunigeulis Village, Cigandamekar District, Kuningan Regency aim to prevent stunting in the group of women of childbearing age (WUS) through nutritional education media in the form of balanced nutrition counseling to increase public knowledge and awareness regarding factors that influence stunting and its prevention efforts. With a holistic approach, balanced nutrition counseling activities and Posyandu weighing provide regular monitoring of child growth, enabling early detection of stunting. Balanced nutrition counseling to increase WUS knowledge, creates an environment that supports optimal growth of children or toddlers. Despite facing challenges, collaboration between the community service team, village officials, and health cadres and nutritionists is the key to the program's success. These results form the basis for efforts to reduce stunting rates in the working area of ​​the Cigandamekar Community Health Center, Kuningan Regency and can be used as a model village for surrounding villages.
