AIUB SDG Activity Report 2023 | SDG 2: Zero Hunger

American International University–Bangladesh (AIUB) demonstrates a strong commitment to Sustainable Development Goal 2 (Zero Hunger) through comprehensive programs, community outreach, educational initiatives, and strategic policies. From ensuring no student or staff goes hungry on campus to aiding vulnerable communities off campus, AIUB’s efforts from 2020 to 2024 reflect a multifaceted approach to ending hunger, improving food security, and promoting sustainable food systems. Below is an overview of AIUB’s contributions, organized by key areas of impact, with measurable outcomes and official sources.

From 2020 through 2024, AIUB has shown unwavering dedication to Zero Hunger (SDG 2) through a blend of on-campus welfare programs, compassionate community outreach, educational advocacy, and strategic collaborations. Key outcomes of this period include hundreds of low-income students supported with food assistance, annual campaigns delivering holiday meals to roughly 150–200 families, disaster relief reaching over a thousand households in crisis, and the ongoing provision of meals to underprivileged children through AIUB-backed schooling. Equally important are the qualitative impacts: a university culture that values generosity and sustainability, students who graduate as informed change-makers on food security, and innovations that can transform agricultural practices. AIUB’s multi-pronged approach addresses hunger not just as charity but as a systemic issue – one that demands community empathy, knowledge-based solutions, and policy commitment. Through these efforts, AIUB significantly contributes to the United Nations’ Agenda 2030 goal of Zero Hunger, embodying the principle that higher education institutions can be powerful agents in the fight to ensure everyone has access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food all year round.
