Feeding the Urban Poor

Our PPR Food Programme is one of our most important schemes as it is able to reach thousands of Malaysia’s most vulnerable inhabitants, those that are often overlooked by other outreach programmes. 

The Lost Food Project is dedicated to finding ‘lost food’ a new home with those in Malaysia who need it most. At the core of our existence is the belief that no one needs to be hungry.  There is enough surplus food in the world to feed those in need four times over.  

TLFP extended its reach to the underserved in 2019 with a commitment to deliver food to the Lembah Pantai low cost flats, the Perumahan Pangsapuri Rakyat (PPR) in Pantai Dalam, Kuala Lumpur.

Since them we have expanded to include PPR and low cost housing in 33 PPR locations around Kuala Lumpur and Selangor: PPR Semarak, PPR Seri Aman, PPR Batu Muda, Union Flats Sentul, PPR Seri Sarawak, PPR Seri Sabah, Flat Hang Tuah, PPR Taman Wahyu, Loke Yew Flats, PPR Seri Aman, Komuniti Pandan Jaya, PPR Seri Cempaka, PPR Petaling Bahagia, PPR Kg. Pasir, and others low cost housing locations.

Come rain or shine, TLFP volunteers and staff work tirelessly to rally stallholders at the Selayang wholesale market, wholesalers, importers, manufacturers, distributors and supermarkets to bring surplus food to the tables of the families we serve.  Every tonne of food rescued means a tonne less of food waste going to the municipal landfill and helps us to reduce the burden on B40 families.

Tonight you came here to give us food and I am very happy. It's rainy season and the price of vegetables are expensive. This has brought us relief and lifted some of our burdens.
