Residents at a Projek Perumahan Rakyat collecting vegetables delivered by The Lost Food Project from Pasar Borong KL.Seven years ago, a Kuala Lumpur-based non-profit organisation known as The Lost Food Project , was founded to help reduce food waste, combat climate change, and fight hunger in the local community.
Suzanne and her team formed a registered society in Malaysia with two charity projects, and The Lost Food Project was born. The organisation was established in response to the alarming amount of food waste in our society and the pressing issue of food insecurity many individuals and families face.TLFP’s current chief executive officer, Ariffin Buranudeen said that he loosely classifies food insecurity as those who do not have three full meals a day and those who lack nutritious meals.
The place was pristine, and crates of fresh produce were being processed for collection. The sight of dedicated individuals working diligently on a common goal inspired me. “I learned about TLFP looking for volunteers through a group chat of expatriates and Malaysians called Internation. At first, five of us came to help. The other four didn’t return but I have not looked back.”
“I wish we could get more people from our churches involved, especially the youth. On days we have corporations sending their staff as a CSR project is great because we have extra hands. Some days we are very short-handed,” said Carmel, whose father was a Society of St Vincent de Paul member. Carmel said they make sure the food is presentable before it leaves the warehouse. “Just because they are poor doesn’t mean they don’t deserve nice things. It is worrying when we don’t get enough vegetables to give for the week. Then we compensate with dry goods like rice, cereal, or milk.”
“We work closely with farmers to identify crops at risk of being discarded due to cosmetic imperfections, overstock, or market fluctuations. TLFP’s dedicated team actively engages with farmers, providing them with a sustainable solution to minimise food waste and maximise the impact of their crops.
Since its inception, TLFP has had the privilege of assisting a wide range of individuals and communities in need, including orphanages and children's homes where they provide nutritious meals and essential food supplies, ensuring vulnerable children have access to proper nutrition.
