Take action on the Global Goals and make the world a better place. All for free. All from your mobile device. (Please note: this feature is only available for Android users.)
There’s an app created to help end poverty & hunger, reduce inequalities, tackle climate change and help make the world a better place. Download the Samsung Global Goals app and help take action. The 17 Global Goals, also called the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), were built on decades of work by the UN and adopted by all 193 host countries.
By viewing ads, you donate (no wallet required!) to support making the world a better place. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.sree&hl=en_US
PS - And with a 1:1 match from Samsung, every dollar “earned” in advertising will raise two, to double the donation to help meet the Goals.
