SDG 2: Zero Hunger

Food insecurity among students is a critical issue that affects their health, academic performance, and overall well-being. This indicator reflects the extent to which students lack reliable access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food. It is characterized by varying degrees of food insecurity, ranging from mild to severe, and highlights the challenges many students face in maintaining a balanced diet due to financial constraints.

Universitas Airlangga (UNAIR) prioritizes combatting student food insecurity. Through our social fund management center, we have introduced “Jumat Berkah”, distributing free weekly meals to 1,000 students. Additionally, during Holy Ramadhan, we offer 5,000 free meals for our academic community. On the University’s anniversary, another 10,000 meals are provided. In 2022, our commitment scales up, aiming to supply over 20,000 meals. At UNAIR, we understand the paramount importance of nutrition and support for our students, ensuring they never face food insecurity during their academic journey.
