Sunrise

Student Tag Drive Initiative

A study conducted at the University of Technology, Jamaica revealed that approximately 51% of their students are suffering from severe food insecurity, 31.2% suffering from moderate food insecurity and on the flip side a mere 17.9% experiencing food security. These horrific findings mean that 82.2% of our approximately 10,000 students are unable to afford or gain access to nutritious meals consistently and in a timely manner. With is, the University of Technology Students Union launched an End Campus Hunger campaign geared toward providing access to nutritious meals in a timely manner.

Vice President of the University of Technology Students Union, Wyomi Hopkins and Brand Manager of 7Krave,  Maurice Williams joined us on Sunrise to share more about the initiative. Watch the full interview here:
