The Alfamart Sahabat Posyandu programme is being held again in collaboration with Kalbe Nutritionals through Morinaga Chil*Go! in September 2026. This collaboration targets more than 2,800 beneficiaries across 28 locations, specifically focusing on mothers and children, through health services and nutritional education at Alfamart outlets.

One of the activities took place at the Alfamart Drive Thru Gading Serpong, Tangerang, on Thursday (24/9). In addition to Posyandu services, the event featured a baby dance competition, which was enthusiastically attended by many mothers.

General Manager of Corporate Communications at Alfam.art, Rani Wijaya, stated that Alfamart Sahabat Posyandu is a programme implemented sustainably to bring healthcare access closer to the community.

“We run this programme consistently. Until December 2026, we have mapped the programme’s distribution to reach more beneficiaries in various regions, including areas that were previously unreached,” Rani said in a written statement on Tuesday (29/9/2026).

According to Rani, the proximity of Alfamart outlets to the community supports the implementation of the programme. Residents can access Posyandu services while simultaneously receiving health and nutrition education without having to travel far from their homes.

“Alfamart’s closeness to the community also provides a social impact through various initiatives, one of which is Alfamart Sahabant Posyandu. We hope this programme can continue to contribute to supporting the health and development of Indonesian children,” she added.

Meanwhile, Brand Manager of Morinaga ChilGo! at Kalbe Nutritionals, Andre Gusli, said that the collaboration through Morinaga ChilGo! supports child development while providing access to quality nutrition for more Indonesian families.

“We believe that support for child development begins not only with quality nutrition but also with education and health monitoring that is accessible to families. As part of Kalbe Nutritionals, Morinaga Chil*Go! continues to strive to provide quality nutrition by combining the excellence of Japanese research and quality with prices that are affordable for Indonesian families. Through this collaboration with Alfamart and Posyandu activities, we want to bring education regarding the importance of nutrition and child development closer to mothers, while providing quality nutritional options that can be reached by more Indonesian families,” said Andre.

Morinaga Chil*Go! is collaborating with Alfamart to present a series of Posyandu activities in various regions of Indonesia. This collaboration expands family access to basic health services, growth monitoring, and nutritional education that is easily accessible to parents.

Together with Alfamart, which possesses an extensive and community-proximate network, Morinaga Chil*Go! aims to present Posyandu as a warmer, more accessible, and relevant space for Indonesian families.

This initiative is expected to strengthen the role of Posyandu as the frontline in maintaining child health while encouraging the creation of a healthier generation ready to face the future.

In addition to Tangerang, the programme is also being implemented in Medan, North Sumatra, specifically at the Alfamart Pabrik Tenun outlet.

One participant, Elisabeth, said the service made it easier for her to check her child’s health condition. “This is very good and convenient. There are Posyandu cadres helping to examine my child. While waiting, there are also activities for children, so they do not get bored easily,” she said.

A similar story emerged from the implementation in Gowa Regency, South Sulawesi, specifically at the Alfamart Tamarunang outlet.

Another participant, Irma, stated that the service made it easier for her to check her child’s health. “I am very happy to be able to participate in this Posyandu. Because besides receiving education, we also receive gift packs. I hope Alfamart holds this more frequently here,” said Irma.

Through collaboration with various parties, Alfamart Sahabat Posyandu will continue to be expanded to several regions to bring healthcare access and nutritional education closer to the community.
