My Goal

When your family is gathered for dinner there are dishes in front of us, and we sometimes refuse like “Na, I don’t like daal or sabzi” or When we go out with our friends to order a larger pizza (with extra cheese), Burger etc. we order excessive from what we will eat. Most of the time, we finished, and there are leftovers for our food. We will not be going to eat is because we are full and non of the others in the restaurant going to eat your ort food. Did we ever think about what happens to that food? Yes, you are right. It gets wasted because it’s someone’s leftover. But have we ever imagine that this leftover can help a hungry family to fill their hunger. May be for us it’s a leftover, but for them, it’s food that can fill their hunger. This is what I plan to do. To bring such leftovers to the people who need it. Bin the leftover is a wastage of food that can fill someone’s hunger.

Why Am I Want To Do This

What if you are a person who earns hand to mouth. You get 500 wages a day, and you have to manage your rent, food, bills, and other expenses. One day you came back home it’s 3rd day that you didn’t find any work, and you ask your wife about your children, and she told you that there is nothing to eat and they have to sleep hungry (May Allah never put anyone in this situation). It’s heartbreaking, but this is what many families have been through. Do you think there is any meaning of leftover or half-eaten food for them?

What I Am Doing With That Goal

I get in touch with some people and discuss my idea. They appreciate it, but I want to make it more refined. I just want it to go as I planned, and I am very motivated that I will do INSHALLAH.

What’s My Next Move

I have done collecting feedback from many people. This was the first task that I have planned to do. Now I have to contact the restaurants who are willing to give away their leftover food.

Task 1:

I need to process and refine my idea. There may be some things which can be better or there is no need for them.

Task 2:

Get connected with the restaurants that are giving away their leftovers.

Task 3:

Develop a platform where everything is going to be connected.
