Poverty Alleviation
INTRODUCTION
Poverty Alleviation
Join SEC UK and be a part of our mission to alleviate poverty and unlock human potential. In a world where nearly half the population lives in poverty, we believe that poverty alleviation is not just charity, but an act of justice. Thousands of lives are lost each day due to a lack of food and clean water. Together, we can make a difference.
In our operational area, the situation is no different. That’s why SEC UK is taking collective action to generate resources and deliver poverty alleviation interventions. Here are some of our objectives:
- Promoting Equitable Distribution: We aim to create awareness and advocate for the equitable distribution of resources and equal opportunities for all members of society.
- Climate Change Adaptation: We strive to increase knowledge and awareness about climate change and help communities adapt their livelihood resources for greater resilience. For example, we introduce drought-resistant crop varieties and adjust cropping seasons to changing weather patterns.
- Peacebuilding and Conflict Transformation: Working in a long-standing conflict-affected area, we understand the challenges. We engage in public policy work for eco-tourism, intra-state trade, and travel, as well as direct international trade and investment in AJK, contributing to economic regeneration.
- Knowledge and Technology Transfer: To address the high unemployment rate in AJK, we provide training in employable skills to unemployed youth, aligning them with local and international job markets. We also facilitate knowledge and technology transfer through collaboration with the Kashmiri diaspora living and working in technologically advanced positions around the world.
By joining SEC UK, you can play an active role in combating poverty and empowering individuals to lead productive and prosperous lives. Together, let’s make a lasting impact in our operational area in AJK.
