        "summary": "The National Population and Family Planning Board (BKKBN) has emphasised that stunting prevention requires a comprehensive strategy beyond just nutritional fulfilment. Officials highlighted that a healthy living environment, proper sanitation, and decent housing are equally critical for child development. The statement was made during a review of the 'Genting' foster parent programme in Sleman, Yogyakarta, which provides home rehabilitation grants to vulnerable families.",
        "content": "<p>Minister of Population and Family Development\/Head of BKKBN Wihaji\nhas stressed that stunting prevention must be comprehensive. It is not\nsufficient to only fulfil the nutritional needs of pregnant women,\nbreastfeeding mothers, and toddlers; the quality of the living\nenvironment is also key.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStunting prevention must be carried out holistically. Besides\nensuring adequate nutrition, we also need to ensure that families live\nin a healthy environment, have good sanitation, and decent housing to\nsupport children\u2019s growth and development,\u201d said Wihaji while directly\ninspecting the implementation of the Genting programme in Sleman\nRegency, Special Region of Yogyakarta (25\/06).<\/p>\n<p>The Gerakan Orang Tua Asuh Cegah Stunting (Genting), or Foster\nParents Movement to Prevent Stunting, is not merely about providing\nphysical assistance. It is a mutual cooperation movement that directly\naddresses the root problems of targeted families.<\/p>\n<p>Dwi Rahayu (32) is one of the recipients of this helping hand. A\nresident of Glondong Hamlet, Tirtomartani, Kalasan, she is a\nbreastfeeding mother with three children. The presence of a tiny\n1.5-month-old baby, amidst her struggle alone after being left by her\nhusband, became a severe test.<\/p>\n<p>In another hamlet, Pakem, Kalasan, the struggle for survival is\nevident in Paiyem (73). The elderly woman, who lives alone, stays with\nher nephew, Heri Kiswanto (33), who works as a field officer earning 2.8\nmillion rupiah per month. Heri must divide his focus between supporting\nhis own family\u2014his wife and toddler\u2014and helping Paiyem.<\/p>\n<p>Home rehabilitation assistance worth 50 million rupiah per family,\nprovided through the Genting programme, became a catalyst for Dwi Rahayu\nand Paiyem to obtain healthier, safer, and more comfortable housing.<\/p>",
