SOCIETY OF STUDENT AGAINST POVERTY
SOCIETY OF STUDENT AGAINST POVERTY is the first social-student NGO
established in1999 with the main objectives of relieving people who are
suffering from unemployment, hunger and lack of education, particularly
women and children.
The primary Founder of theories and plans of SOCIETY OF STUDENT AGAINST
POVERTY NGO is Sharmin Meymandinejad, who also is teacher of social and
humanistic affaires courses in Sharif Extraordinary Activities Department.
Around ten years ago, Founders and first members of this NGO were only
students of Sharif University, who started their activities by obtaining
their first official office in that university.
From that time, those students registered the NGO in Ministry of Interior of
Iran as a Non Governmental Organization and expanded their activities by
establishing several other offices in slum areas around Iran which named
Iranian Houses.
At the moment, there are three of those Iranian houses operating in Tehran
(Capital of Iran) and Varamin. In addition, SOCIETY OF STUDENT AGAINST
POVERTY has introduced several other programs such as Koche Gardane Ashegh,
Tadrise Eshgh, Teflan Moslem, Farzandane Mehr and etc.
which all are in accordance to the social development and poverty reduction
goals of the NGO.
