In addition to assisting with budget allocation, CD Bethesda YAKKUM also provides several educational sessions (socialization) to the people of Dapitau Village which they found very beneficial in terms of both knowledge and skills. The Village Head also expressed his gratitude for the Socialization in Dapitau Village, as it increased the society’s awareness of Health Issues. Active participation from society in building health in improving health can take in many ways, one of which is involvement in Health Service Programs like Posyandu.

In Posyandu, the community can actively participate as attendees or cadres. By becoming Posyandu cadres, community members can provide information about healthy diets, immunization, common diseases, and other health-related topics to the participants attending Posyandu. Additionally, Posyandu cadres can hone their skills and gain further knowledge by participating in training sessions facilitated by UPKM/CD Bethesda YAKKUM. When the community consistently and proactively participates in Posyandu activities, it contributes to improving their own health quality. The key to enhancing health quality is fostering community awareness within the village.

One of the new experiences the community gained after the local food processing training was the introduction of more varied supplementary feeding options. The supplementary food provided to babies and toddlers is now made from local ingredients. Previously, only green beans were used, but now Posyandu cadres can provide biscuits made from moringa leaves, which have higher nutritional benefits.
