Our Projects
The IMU Community Engagement has adopted the following four United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDG) where all community-engaged activities will primarily be aligned to. This will ensure a more sustainable approach to our activities, as well as to create an impact within the community we work with.
Find out more about each of the UNSDG and the projects under them below
Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages
Over the last 15 years, the number of childhood deaths has been cut in half. This proves that it is possible to win the fight against almost every disease. Still, we are spending an astonishing amount of money and resources on treating illnesses that are surprisingly easy to prevent. The new goal for worldwide Good Health promotes healthy lifestyles, preventive measures and modern, efficient healthcare for everyone.
At IMU, we have five project themes under this UNSDG as we continue to be committed to promote good health and well-being within our communities.
Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all
Education liberates the intellect, unlocks the imagination and is fundamental for self-respect. It is the key to prosperity and opens a world of opportunities, making it possible for each of us to contribute to a progressive, healthy society. Learning benefits every human being and should be available to all.
At IMU, we have two project themes under this UNSDG, to support basic literacy and education among those who lack access, as well as empowering communities through vocational skills training.
Reduced Inequality within and among countries
IMU CE seeks to bridge the gap of inequalities experienced by communities of people with disability to promote social and economic inclusivity where we believe equal access and opportunities should be given to these communities we work with.
Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns
Our planet has provided us with an abundance of natural resources but we have not utilized them responsibly and currently consume far beyond what our planet can provide. We must learn how to use and produce in sustainable ways that will reverse the harm that we have inflicted on the planet. IMU believes that each of us have a part to play and no action is too small to make a difference in the world. At IMU, we focus on two themes, promoting environmental awareness and action within our community, as well as promoting circular solutions for a more sustainable future.
