MTE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS INITIATIVE

Building Bridges to Sustainability

Sharity Malaysia is a concept based on sharing and caring for communities. At MTE, we aspire to bridge organisations and communities, to share our challenges, knowledge, experiences, and resources, and form connections to empower and help build communities better.

Sharity Malaysia will provide a universal vision, and increase the responsibility and goals for accomplishing human development. We are reminding each other that we all have a responsibility and role to play, that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests.
