Ester Nenggokaka, a resident of Southwest Sumba, East Nusa Tenggara, leads a simple life despite facing challenges. She works hard by selling vegetables to provide for her two children. Her dedication and resilience are admirable.
One of Ester’s children, Lorensius Aganta, was underweight at only 7 kilograms before benefiting from the Free Nutritious Meal (Makan Bergizi Gratis, MBG) program. Ester is grateful for the positive impact the program had on her son’s health.
Through the regular distribution of MBG meals, Ester has seen a positive change in her son’s weight. She eagerly awaits his next health check at the local community clinic to monitor his progress. Every morning, Ester receives a variety of nutritious food items for her children, ensuring they have a balanced diet.
Despite the challenges she faces, Ester remains hopeful for the future. She looks forward to further assistance from President Prabowo to improve their living standards. Even without access to electricity or land ownership, the nutritious meals provided to her children give Ester hope for better days ahead.
