This condition can be seen from the child's physical characteristics, such as a height that is far below the average child of his age. The research method used by the author is the method of collecting data through direct interviews with relevant informants and monitoring and evaluating the cultural conditions that exist in Tieng village. The method of observation and data collection is through the documentation method, namely conducting direct interviews with PKK cadres, village midwives, several residents who have toddlers and monitoring and evaluating village culture to find out the problems faced by Tieng villagers. The problem faced by Tieng residents is the high number of stunting sufferers, namely 30% of children under five from the total children recorded in Tieng village, stunting cases are caused by several things such as KTD (unwanted pregnancy), not routinely carrying out pregnancy checks, premature birth, and others. The perpetrators of community service activities in Tieng village are students of the Al-Qur'an Science University who carry out Community Service Lectures (KPM) totaling eight people accompanied by one field supervisor. The author intervened the problem by directly accompanying the immunization activities of the Posyandu for toddlers, distributing additional food for toddlers, and stunting classes in Tieng village, as well as providing additional interventions in the form of outreach to the community, namely the installation of banners for understanding and preventing stunting.
