AIUB SDG Activity Report 2023 | SDG 1: No Poverty

 

American International University-Bangladesh (AIUB) actively supports Sustainable Development Goal 1 by addressing poverty through various educational and community initiatives. AIUB provides financial aid to students from low-income families, ensuring access to higher education. Different study tours and involvement programs allow students to engage directly with impoverished communities, identifying economic challenges and proposing sustainable solutions.

The university also offers different capacity building activities, equipping students with entrepreneurial skills to foster economic growth. This aligns with SDG-1 by encouraging self-employment and financial sustainability​. Moreover, AIUB organizes various seminars like “Business Process Outsourcing in the Age of 4IR”, which provides insights into career opportunities that combat poverty by promoting decent work.

Through its efforts, AIUB not only empowers its students but also contributes to poverty alleviation by supporting local enterprises and fostering community development. These initiatives demonstrate AIUB’s commitment to creating economic opportunities and ensuring inclusive education to uplift marginalized groups, directly addressing poverty in line with SDG-1.
