A third of the food produced in the world is wasted, including 36 million tons of food go to waste in Pakistan. And that has a huge impact on food security and our planet's health, 8% of greenhouse gas emissions coming from food waste!
At Sharing Out, we have an ambitious goal: To inspire and empower everyone to fight food waste together. We are Pakistan's first app fighting food waste. We have planned to work with every household and thousands of restaurants and food retailers to make their surplus food available to their neighbors and local consumers. We have just started our journey and the magic of Sharing Out is spreading rapidly.
We're a proud pioneer in addressing food waste issues digitally in Pakistan, but did we mention the issue is huge? We are building our team as we move. And that's where you come in:

What we have to offer
Sharing Out connects neighbors with neighbors and businesses (local restaurants, grocery stores, catering service providers, and any other food donors), so the surplus food can be saved by sharing instead of wasting. As a result, food rescuers eat great food for free or less, and households and businesses receive recognition or an additional revenue stream. This could be leftover, unused/ unsold food at home, restaurants, parties, functions, and events and could be food nearing its best before date in local stores, bread from bakers, spare home vegetables, or the groceries in your fridge when you go away. Our solution is simple; all food rescue opportunities listed on the Sharing Out app, and food rescuer simply sign up and log on to the app to rescue food. The app has all the details of food secured/ donated, food donors, food rescuer, or insecure families. By leveraging a digital solution, Sharing Out creates a food sharing and rescue ecosystem made up of the households, food industry, charities, and supporting industry to minimize food waste in Pakistan. We’re launching in Rawalpindi and Islamabad first, and we’d love to hear from you.
