Introduction to Empress Global Impact Challenges

Why SDG1: No Poverty?

Poverty is a complex and multifaceted issue that affects millions of people around the world. It is not just about the lack of financial resources but also the lack of access to basic needs such as food, water, and healthcare. Poverty can be a vicious cycle that is difficult to break, and it can have long-lasting effects on individuals and communities.

The Sustainable Development Goal 1 (SDG1) aims to eradicate poverty in all its forms and dimensions by 2030. This goal recognizes that poverty is not just about income but also about access to basic services, social protection, and opportunities for participation in society. SDG1 also acknowledges that poverty affects different groups of people in different ways, including women, children, and marginalized communities.

In conclusion, SDG1 is a crucial goal that recognizes the multidimensional nature of poverty and the need for a comprehensive approach to address it. By participating in initiatives like the Empress Global Impact Challenge, you can contribute to the achievement of this goal and make a positive impact on the lives of people living in poverty.
