Previously and to this day, PIK2 has also assisted the Tangerang Regency Regional Government in alleviating stunting rates, this time PIK2 is also collaborating with the Health Service and the Tangerang Regency Housing, Settlement and Cemeteries Service in addressing the issue of healthy and adequate sanitation facilities. Meanwhile, in the development process, PIK2 also empowered non-governmental groups in Pangkalan Village. PIK2 started this program by making Muara Village an ODF area.
