FJCU works with our international partners to collate and assess information about SDGs and effective measures to achieve them. This covers a range of SDGs, including SDGs1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 10, 12, and 14.
The information is as follows:

1. By collaborating with the Society of Jesus in Banteay Meanchey, Cambodia, FJCU learned that there is a lack of teachers in the area, and decided to dispatch a team of volunteers to provide resources and training.

2. By collaborating with NGO Philippine Philanthropic Fund, FJCU learned that enrolment was less than 50% in elementary schools in the Philippines, and decided to help provide education to children living in dense urban areas marked by poverty by dispatching a team of volunteers.

3. By collaborating with Xavier Learning Community, FJCU learned that impoverished youths in northern Thailand lack access to tertiary education, and decided to provide aid to local efforts in offering Chinese language classes by dispatching a team of volunteers.

4. By working with Father Vinai of Huilong Chinese School in northern Thailand, FJCU learned that communities in the region are challenged on three fronts due to historical factors: social issues, a lack of teachers, and lack of education. Thus, FJCU dispatched a team of volunteers to the local community to assist in education efforts.

5. FJCU collaborated with the Department of Biology of the University of San Carlos to improve the productivity of livestock by using smart microbial fermentation process and techniques to develop a feed additive for chickens with marine macroalgae as base material.

6. FJCU collaborated with the University of Leuven on a Chinese Civilization and Culture program.
