The Story 🍌

Malaysia is truly a one-of-a-kind country when it comes to food. Not only does this come in the dishes we eat but also in the amount of food that Malaysians waste. We produce 91 kg of household food waste per capita per year based on United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) findings. Food waste often spikes during the Ramadan period, unfortunately going against the humbling and self-sacrifice it represents.

The Facts 🔍

The World Food Programme believes more than 345 million people currently face high levels of food insecurity, over double since 2020. Hunger which has been exacerbated by rising cost of living, wars and climate change. Further UNEP findings from 2021 show there were roughly 931 million tons of food waste created in 2019, where 61 percent was created by households. The research showed that household food waste was similar across income levels, showing that we should strive to contribute equally and consistently in managing food waste, across boundaries of race, religion or social class.

How to Help ❤️

Your contribution to our fundraiser will directly support AIESEC's efforts. Under Clean Our Plate 10.0, we aim to use the proceeds to donate food to the underprivileged and enlighten students in methods to manage food waste, building lifelong leadership skills and connections in the process. 

Still Not Convinced?

With news headlines and statistics looking more dire than ever, it can feel demotivating and make it easy to believe that humanity has failed. However, we believe that by taking personal responsibility, we can fulfill not only SDG 12 but also a better humanity. To feed the change-makers, scientists and visionaries of tomorrow, we have to play our part to conserve and utilise food waste.
