Samsung enables Galaxy smartphone users in India to donate through SGG app
Tech giant Samsung has updated
its Samsung Global
Goals (SGG) app that will empower Galaxy smartphone users in India to donate
for causes related to inequality, climate and environmental degradation, and
education.
All projects are linked to causes that help further the United
Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
With the updated SGG app, Galaxy users in India will now be able
to donate to projects using the Unified Payments Interface (UPI). These
projects include educating young women, feeding school children, protecting
children's rights, supporting the fight against poverty and helping ease the
loss of grieving families impacted by Covid-19, the company said in a
statement.
The projects listed on the app support UN SDGs such as No Poverty
(Goal 1), Zero Hunger (Goal 2), Good Health and Well-being (Goal 3), Quality
Education (Goal 4), Clean Water and Sanitation (Goal 6), Sustainable Cities and
Communities (Goal 11) and Responsible Consumption and Production (Goal 12).
Galaxy users will soon be able to also
contribute towards United Nations Development Programme projects in India such
as supporting women artisans working on Warli folk paintings, helping Safai
Saathis who are frontline sanitation workers, conserving Snow Leopards in the
Himalayas, one of the world's rarest cats, and supporting the lives and
livelihoods of people impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic.
"The updated Samsung Global Goals
app will now provide Galaxy smartphone users in India, including Gen Z and
millennial users, an easy way to learn about the SDGs and support causes in
India that are most important to them. The app furthers our vision of
#PoweringDigitalIndia that aims to empower the next generation of young
India," said Partha Ghosh, Vice President & Head, Corporate
Citizenship, Samsung India, in the statement.
