The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), otherwise known as the Global Goals, are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity. These 17 Goals build on the successes of the Millennium Development Goals, while including new areas such as climate change, economic inequality, innovation, sustainable consumption, peace and justice, among other priorities. The goals are interconnected – often the key to success on one will involve tackling issues more commonly associated with another.The SDGs work in the spirit of partnership and pragmatism to make the right choices now to improve life, in a sustainable way, for future generations. They provide clear guidelines and targets for all countries to adopt in accordance with their own priorities and the environmental challenges of the world at large. The SDGs are an inclusive agenda. They tackle the root causes of poverty and unite us together to make a positive change for both people and planet. “Poverty eradication is at the heart of the 2030 Agenda, and so is the commitment to leave no-one behind,” UNDP Administrator Achim Steiner said. “The Agenda offers a unique opportunity to put the whole world on a more prosperous and sustainable development path. In many ways, it reflects what UNDP was created for.”
Food Security and Poverty Alleviation Through Sustainable Practices
Poverty is more than the lack of income or resources. People live in poverty if they lack basic services such as healthcare and education. They also experience hunger, social discrimination and exclusion from decision making processes. We are committed to empower tribal families, who have been deprived for long time, through education, training and support for sustainable agricultural practices and other allied employments. This objective and our approaches to realize this are directly related to the following sustainable development goals set by United Nations.
Goal 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth
Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities
We strive to alleviate poverty in all its forms by empowering tribes through education and training as well as providing basic services and facilities. Regular health trainings, health camps, kitchen gardening for improved nutrition, exposure visits, skill trainings, etc. are integral part of our interventions. All these is done in environmentally friendly and socio-economically just manner. We actively participate in climate action and improving life on land through plantation of trees, promoting use of cloth and paper bags, encouragement to micro enterprises, livestock development and protection. We partner with government, other NGOs and Enterprises through CSR initiatives for realization of the sustainable development goals.
Water Resource Development
Even after seeing so much advancement at global and national level, many tribal families are struggling for basic necessity such as clean drinking water and water for irrigation. This is due largely to industrialization, deforestation, and pollution of water resources. This goal is directly related to Sustainable Goal 3 and 6 of United Nations. The provision of clean drinking water also liberates children from having to struggle for hours to get water and give the opportunity to impart education to them.
Improving Health of The Community
Regular health awareness camps, health checkups, training and support for kitchen gardening, support for clean drinking water and decent source of income are some of the initiatives that we are committed to for improving health of the community. This goal is directly related to United Nations' Sustainable Goal 3: Good Health and Well-Being for people
Women Empowerment
According to the UN, "gender equality is not only a fundamental human right, but a necessary foundation for a peaceful, prosperous and sustainable world." Providing women and girls with equal access to education, health care, decent work, and representation in political and economic decision-making processes will fuel sustainable economies and benefit societies and humanity at large. In our efforts to contribute to Goal 5: Gender Equality, we help the tribal community women get organized in self help groups, conduct various trainings encourage them to save on regular basis, practice healthy lifestyle and cultivate good values in their children.
Landless Development
Several families in rural areas do not have sufficient means of generating income. And do not posses land resources also. As a part of our rural development initiative we strive to uplift those with meager source of income by providing training, guidance and financial help.
Rural Education
Imparting quality education to build character and skills among children and youth is essential for children are future of the world. This goal is directly related to United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal 4: Quality Education
Character Building and Skill Development
Many young people in tribal communities are not educated and do not have good skill sets. Some of them are even addicted to bad habits due to urbanization. We AIM to provide quality training in relevant domains to the young people. Through this objective we are contributing to United Nations Sustainable Goal 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth.
