Clean Our Plate 7.0 - Food: Waste Not, Want Not

THE PROBLEM

The economic fallout of the Covid-19 pandemic has caused many to lose their job or take pay cuts, causing them to struggle to make ends meet in order to put food on the table. According to the Labour Force Malaysia, the unemployment rate climbed to 4.8% in June 2021 with 768.7 thousand unemployed individuals. The pandemic has led to severe and widespread increases in global food insecurity, and many families with depleted savings are pressured to survive on one meal a day, thus resulting in malnutrition. In recent months, the white flag campaign was also initiated in order to assist struggling Malaysians with groceries and essential items.

THE SOLUTION

AIESEC in Sunway has come up with Clean Our Plate Project which targets the SDG12: Responsible Consumption and Production. The project will commence on the 3rd January 2022 and end on the 30th January 2022. Throughout the four weeks, we will be conducting a crowdfunding campaign to assist those underprivileged families in Bandar Sunway, Selangor, Malaysia. The funds collected will be channeled to The Lost Food Project, and the organization would purchase meals and send over to the families who are in need.

THE IMPACT

Clean Our Plate aims to donate the funds collected to The Lost Food Project (TLFP) to provide support to families who are facing hard times due to the pandemic. TLFP is a Malaysian not-for-profit organization dedicated to a sustainable future by rescuing 'lost' food and finding it a new home with people who need it most.

Besides, we also aim to raise awareness on food waste issues in Malaysia and how the food wasted could have gone to the people in need.
