THE PROBLEM


Did you know that Malaysia’s food waste is enough to feed 12 million people with 3 meals per day?

Most importantly, during the pandemic, many issues arose such as food security that was caused by panic buying and economic trauma of B40 groups which subsequently led to hunger. The surprising fact is that Malaysians are not even aware of the severity of this situation, cause they simply do not know.

 

THE SOLUTION


Clean Our Plate (COP) Project would educate, reduce household food wastage and channel the excess food from being lost in the community to save B40 groups from hunger. The project consists of several components for both secondary school students and the local volunteers.

 

1. Fundraising

Raise fund for

a) Yayasan Foodbank Malaysia

b) Streetfeeders 

https://www.facebook.com/streetfeedersofkl/


These 2 organisations have been actively feeding the homeless, hence the funds raised, part of it will be donated to them.


2. Virtual Workshops
Volunteers will deliver virtual workshops that involved the participation of 2 schools which students aged 13 to 17 years old.
These workshops educate youth about the seriousness of food waste issues and some household food waste reduction or recycling tips to build up good consumer responsible.
 


3. Home Composting
Household composting is our National initiative to implement the responsible consumption habit in our volunteers daily life by incorporating an easy and obvious action of composting for our volunteers


4. Podcasting
Volunteers and organising committees will deliver messages to the community and to have them develop their World Citizen aspect in themselves. They will engage with public and talk about waste issues (crowd) and make good use of the knowledge downscaled by learning partners alongside with Speakers.


5. Forum
Volunteers will share their learnings and exchange views/ideas about food waste as well as their experience in virtual volunteer with University Students.


6. Awareness Video Creation
Video creation will be another initiative taken by volunteers to spread the awareness about food waste issue. Volunteers will receive education from learning partner about video editing and get more insights about video editing. In this way, audience will have a better understanding over the food waste issue through a clear and compact video produced in an interactive way.

About the Organization/Project behind this Campaign

AIESEC in UKM


Our Identity

AIESEC is the world's largest non-profit youth-run organization. It is an international non-governmental not-for-profit organisation that provides young people with leadership development, cross-cultural global internships, and volunteer exchange experiences across the globe. The organization focuses on empowering young leaders to make a positive impact on society through actions.

Our Vision

AIESEC strives for Peace and Fulfilment of Humankind's Potential as an organisation. 

In today’s context, ‘Peace’ does not necessarily mean only avoiding war. Peace can symbolise a world that does not have conflicts that arise from cultural, religious, or other aspects of differences in humanity. Peace can also symbolise being in harmony with yourself. AIESEC strives to build a world where people can work towards their own understanding of peace while respecting and understanding the views of others.

Through Fulfilment of Humankind’s Potential, AIESEC strives for a world where people can be the best version of themselves.

Our Action

We place our confidence in youth because they have the passion, dynamism and entrepreneurial spirit that are needed to shape the future. They have the responsibility to improve tomorrow by choosing who they will be today. Hence, AIESEC is a platform for young leaders to run projects that are aligned with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to ensure its relevance to the local community needs. We aim to be part of the solution for a betterment of Malaysia.
