SDG's #1 no poverty logo
End Poverty in All Forms Everywhere
Three quarters of a billion people continue to live in poverty. Being poor prevents the disadvantaged from achieving their potential. The UN’s sustainable development goals (SDGs) cannot be solved in isolation. Eradicating poverty requires a multidimensional approach that provides access to food, shelter, education, employment, and health. Strengthening the resilience of the poor enables families to lift themselves out of poverty and build stronger communities.

End Poverty in All Forms Everywhere With The UN's Sustainable Development Goals

Three quarters of a billion people continue to live in poverty. Being poor prevents the disadvantaged from achieving their potential. The UN’s sustainable development goals ( SDGs ) cannot be solved in isolation.

Strengthening the resilience of the poor enables families to lift themselves out of poverty and build stronger communities.

Why It Matters


Once basic human rights are achieved, productivity is possible. Contributions from individuals within their communities promote self-esteem and social cohesion. Jobs that provide basic food, shelter, and clothing create stable households and sustainable communities. Economic growth fosters cooperation and reduces conflicts. Greater prosperity enables people to help each other respond to crises and disasters.
