About our acticity

*self introduction

Manpuku project is an activity which OPU students plan and run. We do food-drive activity where we gather food left over and distribute it to people who need it.

What is food-drive?

Food-drive is to gather surplus food and distribute it to individuals or welfare organizations who need it.

*Why we started this project?

We started to think about what we can do as university students to contribute to the reduction of food loss and poverty during the pandemic in the project where we create new activity of volunteering. By doing food-drive activity in our university, we wish we can reduce the amount of food loss, supply food to students and create a place where we can realize the bond of people.

*What do we do?

In Manpuku project, we gather food and daily supplies from OPU students, teachers and neighbors and distribute them to OPU students and students from other countries who want it. We also enlighten the current situation of food loss by making flyers and posters, call for participation of events, and offer information about our food-drive activities through SNS.

Especially, we want to distribute food to people close to us and need support of food. We can see the news that university students are suffering from the reduction of part-time job income because of the pandemic. . So, we think many people need our support. At first, we distribute food to OPU students and foreign students who belong to OPU. Then, we will widen the distribution targets. Eventually, we wish this project will be one of the platform where OPU and local people are related to each other.
