Jakarta March 17, 2023 – Kao Indonesia held an education program to empower Posyandu Cadres in the context of stunting prevention. This activity is a concrete manifestation of Kao Indonesia's support for the Indonesian Ministry of Health's Stunting Prevention program, where this activity was held on March 17 2023 at the Kelurahan Menteng Atas Office which was attended by Wisik Restu as Ass. Vice President of Corporate Communications Kao Indonesia, Wahyuni as Secretary of Kelurahan Menteng Atas and Zulmiwati as Head of Welfare Section for Kelurahan Menteng Atas and representatives from PKK, Posyandu Cadres, Dasawisma Cadres, and RPTRA in Kelurahan Menteng Atas.

In this education & empowerment activity, the Cadres were given education and training related to basic communication in conducting socialization to society in Posyandu. This has become one of the focuses of Kao Indonesia, to improve the skills of cadres when providing counseling both in terms of delivery, mastery of material, self-confidence, which is supported by good non-verbal communication so hopefully the information related to maternal and child health and stunting prevention counseling will be fully conveyed especially for Pregnant Women, Breastfeeding Moms, and Toddler Moms.

The Vice President of Kao Indonesia said "Kao Indonesia has an ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) Strategy that is implemented locally under the theme Caring Innovation and becomes the foundation of all innovations carried out by Kao Indonesia through products and services in an effort to improve the quality of life of consumers, one of them is by continuing to make social contributions that focus on promoting health and the environment in a sustainable manner and which is of course in line with the Government, in this case the Indonesian Ministry of Health, which is currently focusing on stunting prevention."

As one of the official partners of the Indonesian Ministry of Health, Kao Indonesia strives to be able to play a role and contribute to improving the quality of life of the community through product innovation and other social contribution activities, especially in the form of education and promotion of personal and environmental hygiene. Together with the Ministry of Health's Working Team, Kao Indonesia compiled stunting prevention educational materials which contained an appeal for the ABCDE Steps, basic checks and Isi Piringku with different age targets.
