TOGETHER, we can make a CHANGE

The Story

Greetings and Hello everyone!

Firstly, let me thank you all to leave a footstep here! I am Mok Wenyi, the Local Virtual Volunteer for AIESEC Clean Our Plate Campaign, Summer 2021 which aims to end the food waste issues in Malaysia. Hence, the campaign is having a collaboration with the Yayasan Food Bank Malaysia which is striving to solve the hunger issues in Malaysia.

Did you know?

The food that is waste in Malaysia is about 16,667 tonnes daily which there are around 24% are still edible! This is enough to feed some 12 million people three meals per day. Plus, the dumping of food waste at landfills contributes to environmental pollution and global warming due to the release of methane gas (which is 34 times more dangerous than carbon dioxide) resulting from the decomposition process.
