Teologi Pelayanan Sosial: Kontribusi Gereja dalam Mengatasi Stunting pada Anak di Komunitas Penduduk Miskin
Keywords:
Stunting, social service theology, community empowerment, Gustavo GutierrezAbstract
This research explores the contribution of churches in overcoming stunting among children in poor communities using Gustavo Gutiérrez's social service theology approach. Using a qualitative case study method, this research focuses on several churches in Supiori Regency, Papua, which have social programs related to health and community empowerment. Data was collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, program documentation, and Focus Group Discussion (FGD). The research results show that the church plays a crucial role in overcoming stunting through programs providing nutritious food, free health clinics, and nutrition education for parents. Challenges faced include limited resources and a lack of nutritional awareness among the community. However, with solidarity, collaboration, and ongoing education, the church has empowered the community to overcome this problem independently. In conclusion, a social service theology approach can be a strong foundation for church social programs in improving the welfare of children and poor communities.
