Öğrenci’Ye is a mobile app by Beşiktaş Municipality, TURYİD, and local businesses to offer free meals for full-time university students in Beşiktaş. Students can access partner restaurants, view meal options, and make reservations via Öğrenci'Ye app.
University students often face significant challenges when accessing healthy and affordable meals. Many students live in dormitories or rented apartments, and due to their demanding schedules, they often spend long hours on campus from early morning until late evening. This leaves them with little time or access to cooking facilities. Eating out regularly quickly becomes an unaffordable option because of their economic situation. Meals available in school cafeterias might not always be sufficient, nutritious, or tailored to the diverse dietary needs of all students. Despite these obstacles, all students deserve access to healthy and balanced meals. Addressing this issue is crucial not only for their physical well-being but also for their academic success, and overall quality of life.
By connecting students with local resources, such as partner restaurants offering free meals, a community-driven approach can help ease food insecurity and reduce the financial burden on students. This support fosters a sense of solidarity among local businesses, the municipality, and the student population, creating a sustainable support system.
