VIDEO. Many precarious students continue to go to food distributions

Élise is 26 years old and in her final year of business school. For more than one year, she goes to a food distribution twice a week, in Paris. “Combining studies and eating is quite complex, it’s a little thing in your head that’s there all the time, and suddenly it interferes“, she confides. Looking for a job and an apartment, she is currently staying with a friend. To eat, she has a budget of a hundred euros per month, which is not enough.

Dominique, communication manager at Linkee, explains that they receive between 300 and 500 students at each food distribution. “People tend to think that with the end of confinements, everything is settled, but not at allt”, she specifies. According to the Federation of General Student Associations, 62% of students have difficulty eating properly.
