SOCIALIZATION OF STUNTING PREVENTION THROUGH COUNSELING AND HOUSE SANITARY CLEANING AND CLEAN WATER TREATMENT ACTIVITIES

Abstrak

The availability of clean water in the living environment is necessary to meet the needs for drinking water, bathing, cooking, washing and sanitation. The condition of clean water in Kembiritan village, Genteng District, Banyuwangi Regency is still inadequate. This is because village residents have the behavior of throwing rubbish in rivers and waterways so that the stagnant rubbish causes water source pollution. Clean water management carried out by the regional government through related agencies still does not reach the clean water needs in Kembiritan village. This is because the distribution of clean water is not only distributed to residents of Kembiritan village but also to other villages in Genteng Banyuwangi sub-district. Based on these conditions, it is necessary to provide outreach to the residents of Kembiritan village to change their lifestyle by cleaning their houses and processing clean water. Counseling and activities for cleaning house sanitation and clean water treatment were carried out in November 2023 at the Kemiren Village Health Center, which was attended by 45 heads of families. This outreach aims to provide education and understanding to the public not to throw rubbish carelessly, prepare facilities and infrastructure for storing clean water, cleaning activities for bathing facilities and latrines as well as processing clean water for daily consumption.
