Merauke\u2013 PT PLN (Persero) Papua and West Papua Main Regional Unit (UIWP2B), through its Merauke Customer Service Implementation Unit (UP3), has provided nutrition and sanitation assistance to 162 beneficiaries in Merauke Regency, South Papua. The initiative is part of PLN’s contribution to supporting government efforts to accelerate stunting reduction in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
General Manager of PLN UIW Papua and West Papua, Roberth Rumsaur, said in Jayapura on Monday that the initiative was implemented through the Foster Parents Movement to Prevent Stunting (Genting) program, reflecting the company’s commitment to improving community welfare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The program also represents our commitment to delivering social benefits to the community, not only through the provision of electricity but also by supporting improvements in public health and quality of life,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He explained that the Genting program, implemented by PLN UP3 Merauke, ran from November 2025 to April 2026, targeting two priority areas: Sota Village and Kamahedoga Subdistrict in Merauke Regency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“During the implementation, we provided several forms of basic infrastructure assistance, including the construction of wells and clean water towers, bathing, washing, and toilet (MCK) facilities, simple nutritious gardens, as well as free electricity connections for several residents’ homes,” he stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to infrastructure development, PLN also carried out various supporting activities to improve family health. These included providing supplementary nutritional assistance, promoting Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS), conducting education on nutrition and sanitation, and organizing regular health check-ups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The program focuses on families at risk of stunting, particularly pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, and toddlers within the First 1,000 Days of Life (HPK) period,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In recognition of its contribution, PLN UP3 Merauke received the Gold category award at the 2026 Genting Collaboration Summit, organized by the Ministry of Population and Family Development (Kemendukbangga)\/National Population and Family Planning Agency (BKKBN). The award recognized the company’s support for accelerating stunting reduction efforts in South Papua.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Therefore, this achievement serves as motivation for PLN to continue delivering social programs that provide direct and sustainable benefits to the community. The Gold award is a bonus resulting from our sincere intention to be present and bring benefits to the people of Papua,” he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
