SDG 1 is the United Nations’ goal to end poverty in all its forms everywhere. On Keys for Tomorrow, this page brings together 400+ projects and organizations working on income access, financial inclusion, social protection, and resilience building for vulnerable communities. You will find microfinance platforms, cooperative models, and social enterprises designed to close the poverty gap in both developing and developed economies.
Poverty reduction is rarely a single-sector effort. Many of the initiatives listed here overlap with SDG 8 (decent work) and SDG 10 (reduced inequalities), since stable income and fair access to opportunity are the most direct paths out of poverty.
What counts as an SDG 1 project? Any organization whose core model measurably improves income security, access to financial services, or protection against economic shocks for underserved populations.
