Stunting Prevention Program
ZeroStunting
Since 2022, Edufarmers has been implementing a stunting prevention program through the improvement of nutritious food consumption, education, and agriculture-based programs.
Through the "One Day, One Egg" campaign, ZeroStunting provides subsidized eggs to children with stunting as one of the supporting steps to accelerate the reduction of stunting prevalence in Indonesia.
Program Objectives
Our innovative stunting prevention program aims to make a lasting impact on the health and well-being of children who are at risk of stunting or already experiencing its effects. Through a carefully designed program mechanism, we provide a vital resource to these young individuals: one egg per day for a duration of 6 months.
We collect and validate data on stunted infants, engage local stakeholders, procure top-quality eggs from farmers, and ensure their delivery to program locations. Monitoring progress and empowering caregivers through workshops, we continuously evaluate and improve.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why does Edufarmers run a stunting prevention program?
One of the aspirations of Japfa's founder, Mr. Handojo Santosa, is to have philanthropic activity in the field of stunting because the future of Indonesia lies in the hands of the younger generation.
Why is Edufarmers' program not free but subsidized?
We aim to change the lifestyle or behavior of households or parents towards their children by encouraging them to incorporate daily egg consumption to ensure the child's need for animal protein is met.
How long is the ZeroStunting program period?
The program lasts for 6 months because the effective period for a child to gain weight or height and overcome stunting is 6 months, with one egg provided per day.
Why should stunted children consume eggs?
Eggs are a crucial part of the nutrition needed for children because they are rich in iron, protein, fats, vitamins A, D, E, and B12, as well as folic acid. Eggs also serve as a source of choline, which plays a vital role in the brain development of infants. Additionally, the yolk of eggs can enhance iron levels in infants aged over 6 months. Iron in eggs is essential for aiding in the absorption of nutrients and supporting optimal growth. Meanwhile, protein, as a building block, is crucial for infants and toddlers for brain development, the formation of new cells, and the construction of various organ structures such as bones, muscles, and teeth. One of the supporting nutrients for the growth of a toddler's body weight includes iron, protein, calories, and fats, all of which are abundant in eggs, making eggs beneficial for stunted children.
