This year's Muhammad Yunus Innovation Challenge to Alleviate Poverty is "Improving indoor air quality to break the cycle of poverty in the developing world." Indoor air quality is a concern around the world and affects predominantly the poor in their homes and workplaces. Worldwide deaths attributed to air pollution are on a level with those caused by malaria and tuberculosis.
MIT students are encouraged to tackle this challenge with support through Public Service Fellowships, the MIT IDEAS Competition, and D-Lab.
At the Challenge lunch, we will show a film related to the issue and then brainstorm possible solutions to indoor air pollution challenges all over the world. There will also be information about funding and support resources for the Challenge.
