A large number of people go to sleep hungry every night, without the privilege of having a solid meal for days even weeks at a time.
36meals has been founded to raise awareness of the amount of food which wasted globally. If averaged around the world, an average man, roughly, consumes 2-3 meals a day (breakfast, lunch and dinner). So, in about every ten days, it adds up to 20-30 meals approximately. Across every meal a bit of food is left as leftover. If you add up the leftovers every ten days, it amounts to a quantity which becomes a full size consumable meal. Which is enough to light up the face of at least 1, among those billion who sleep without a meal everyday. That implies every 10th day a meal goes wasted summing up leftovers at every meal of ours, which implies 3 meals a month and hence 36MEALS every year.
Lot of organisations are working towards spreading awareness about the same. www.lovefoodhatewaste.com is just one elite example.
Aim: This campaign is more than just preventing food wastage but also encourages people to donate. We urge every individual to go out, find a person in need and donate at least one meal a year.
