SDG 1 - No Poverty

Introduction

At Redeemer's University, our mission to eradicate poverty aligns with the global efforts outlined in the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal 1: No Poverty. We believe that education and community empowerment are fundamental to breaking the cycle of poverty. As a leading institution, we are committed to not only developing academic knowledge but also implementing practical solutions that address poverty both within our immediate community and beyond.

Through our comprehensive anti-poverty programs, Redeemer's University provides support and resources to marginalized groups, offering financial aid, scholarships, and vocational training to students and staff members in need. Our commitment extends beyond our campus, as we engage with local communities through outreach initiatives, economic empowerment programs, and sustainable development projects.

By fostering access to education, job creation, and social support, we are actively working to lift people out of poverty and create lasting change in their lives.
