REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA - UNICEF helps Indonesia combating child malnutrition. The step gets support from European Union (EU) as the regional body provides 245 million USD to UNICEF to fight against malnutrition in Asia and Pacific, including Indonesia.

The Head of Operations, Delegation of the EC to Indonesia, Erik Habers, said that it was paramount to make the fight against hunger priority number one. Since 2008, EU has given 650 million euro to combat malnutrition in Asia, Latin America, and Africa.

The current program focuses in three provinces in Indonesia, Sikka in NTT, Klaten in Central Java, and Jayawijaya in Papua. The program teaches 3,8 million children and 800,000 pregnant and breast-feeding mothers about the importance of healthy food and nutrition.

وَمَا تَفَرَّقُوْٓا اِلَّا مِنْۢ بَعْدِ مَا جَاۤءَهُمُ الْعِلْمُ بَغْيًاۢ بَيْنَهُمْۗ وَلَوْلَا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتْ مِنْ رَّبِّكَ اِلٰٓى اَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى لَّقُضِيَ بَيْنَهُمْۗ وَاِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ اُوْرِثُوا الْكِتٰبَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِهِمْ لَفِيْ شَكٍّ مِّنْهُ مُرِيْبٍ
Dan mereka (Ahli Kitab) tidak berpecah belah kecuali setelah datang kepada mereka ilmu (kebenaran yang disampaikan oleh para nabi) karena kedengkian antara sesama mereka. Jika tidaklah karena suatu ketetapan yang telah ada dahulunya dari Tuhanmu (untuk menangguhkan azab) sampai batas waktu yang ditentukan, pastilah hukuman bagi mereka telah dilaksanakan. Dan sesungguhnya orang-orang yang mewarisi Kitab (Taurat dan Injil) setelah mereka (pada zaman Muhammad), benar-benar berada dalam keraguan yang mendalam tentang Kitab (Al-Qur'an) itu.

(QS. Asy-Syura ayat 14)
