At the Arab Academy for Science, Technology, and Maritime Transport (AASTMT), we place a strong emphasis on ensuring food security for both our staff and students. Recognizing that good health is essential for individuals to be effective and efficient, we have implemented comprehensive measures to provide them with access to nutritious meals. We offer food options not only on campus but also outside of campus, ensuring that individuals have convenient and reliable sources of sustenance. Our commitment to their well-being is demonstrated through a variety of initiatives, including the provision of discounts and free meals. By offering these incentives, we aim to alleviate financial burdens and ensure that everyone has the opportunity to maintain a healthy diet. This approach not only promotes the overall health and well-being of our staff and students but also enhances their productivity and effectiveness in their respective roles within the AASTMT community.

Provision of Discounts and Free Meals

Hunger is a serious issue that affects millions of people worldwide, including students and staff in universities and colleges. Hunger can lead to malnutrition, poor academic performance, and a decrease in work productivity. Therefore, it is essential to provide access to healthy and nutritious meals for students and staff to ensure their well-being.

Preparing and providing meals on campus and in restaurants can be an effective way to combat hunger among students and staff. On-campus dining facilities can offer a variety of meal options that meet the dietary needs of students and staff, including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. Additionally, restaurants located near the campus can also provide affordable and healthy meal options for students and staff who are unable to bring their own food.

Moreover, preparing and providing meals on campus and in restaurants can also help to build a sense of community among students and staff. Eating together can foster social connections and create opportunities for networking and collaboration.​​​​​​​
