In Serdang Bedagai, a heartwarming scene unfolded at the Nutritional Fulfillment Service Unit (SPPG) in Cempedak Lobang, Sei Rampah, as Aslina, a grateful middle-aged woman, expressed her appreciation through tears. With support from the Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) program, Aslina, who was once a full-time homemaker with no income, now plays a vital role in preparing healthy meals for schoolchildren in her community. Alongside her, Normawati, known affectionately as Norma, also found newfound opportunities to support her family by joining the program. Their stories reflect the impact of the MBG Program, which has provided employment to thousands of individuals, including 21-year-old Shinta Ramadana, who eagerly contributes to food preparation tasks with dedication. This initiative not only ensures nutritious meals but also serves as a source of empowerment, turning kitchens into spaces of hope for many. The program’s success is evident in the positive transformations it has brought to the lives of individuals like Aslina, Norma, and Shinta, showing the community’s gratitude and the program’s meaningful impact on those involved.
