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.
