Goal 1 of the UN Sustainable Development Agenda aims to eradicate poverty in all its forms by 2030. This encompasses ending extreme poverty, reducing the number of people living below the national poverty line, expanding social protection, and ensuring access to basic services and resources for all, especially for vulnerable groups.

META University advances this goal through equitable access to higher education, supporting students from socially vulnerable backgrounds, and fostering social innovation that reduces economic inequality. The institution provides inclusive educational opportunities and systemic social support for low-income students, contributing to sustainable socio-economic development across the region.

Financial aid programs, academic support and work with student communities help create an environment where every student can realize their full potential regardless of their starting circumstances.
