MIT - POVERTY ACTION LAB

1978 MIT alumnus Mr. Mohammed Abdul Latif Jameel committed a substantial gift in support of the Poverty Action Lab at MIT. The mission of the lab is to translate research into action that helps the lives of the poor in their communities. 

The gift  endows a professorship, two fellowships, and a research and teaching fund, all in the areas of poverty alleviation and development economics. The endowment is named in honor of Mr. Jameel's late father, Abdul Latif Jameel.
