Method: The educational activities, including lectures, discussions, and demonstrations, were conducted with 20 participants in the Dukunyar Village, Dukun District, Gresik Regency. Results: The results significantly improved participants' knowledge about stunting prevention. Conclusion: This suggests that educational interventions are effective in raising awareness about stunting prevention among vulnerable groups.
