Samsung has announced that the Galaxy Community has raised a whopping $1 million to support Global Goals, the universal platform by the United Nations (UN) that aims to create a better world by 2030. The South Korean firm has been a United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) partner for one year.

This year, the United Nations celebrates its 75th anniversary and will kick off the ‘Decade of Action' plan to create a better world by the end of this decade. World leaders will meet virtually for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic, facing an unprecedented challenge to meet Global Goals for the next ten years. Samsung says that as a global tech leader, it knows that it has the responsibility to help the world move forward.

Samsung's partnership with UNDP has allowed the company to transform the Galaxy smartphone into a platform through its Global Goals app and help Galaxy users take small steps and contribute towards a cleaner tomorrow. The funds generated by the Galaxy community will be used in improving education, gender equality, nutrition, water sanitization, and to combat climate change.

You can look at the infographic below to see how the Samsung Global Goals app has been helping people worldwide.
