The NIA BENEVOLENT FUND, the Charity and Humanitarian arm of the Institute, is now operational in view of the growing concerns regarding NIA members who had either been active or passive but maintained their financial status over the years. The Institute has become aware of the unfortunate plight of some of these members who now find their daily living threatened by diverse unfortunate circumstances beyond their control, as they need urgent assistance to see them through the trying times.
The goals and objectives of the NIA align with the global actions of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In September, 2019, the UN Secretary General called on all sectors to mobilize for a Decade of Action (2020-2030) which calls for accelerating sustainable solutions to the world’s biggest challenges ranging from poverty and gender inequality, to climate change and closing the finance gap, with the theme being “Leave No One Behind”.
Furthermore, in an urgent response to the prevailing economic climate, it has become quite pertinent to extend a “helping hand” to our affected colleagues both qualitatively and quantitatively in these dire times.

- Architects living with chronic diseases leading to declining health issues.
