SDG 1 : No Poverty

The Faculty of Humanities Universitas Indonesia (Fakultas Ilmu Pengetahuan Budaya Universitas Indonesia/FIB UI) is a faculty that has a strong commitment to become the cultural center of the nation. FIB UI also seeks to develop civilization through the three pillars of education (tridharma perguruan tinggi), which includes education, research, and community service. In terms of education, FIB UI is fully aware that the progress of a nation is actually achieved through quality education of the students. However, not each student who succeeds in achieving his/her dreams, entering FIB UI, gets the convenience of taking education.
