Today, Samsung has announced a new initiative together with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) called Generation17 to inspire actions into securing Global Goals that provides a blueprint of creating a better future for all by the year 2030.
Samsung will be providing hardware such as their Galaxy smartphones for participants to galvanize the current generation of young people into shaping the world through impactful work which some of them already made considerable strides as of today which is the 2020 cohort made up of 4 trailblazers tackling some of the most pressing challenges of our lifetimes.
First up, 30-year old Máximo Mazzocco from Argentina founded Eco House that promotes sustainable development through education, volunteering, advocacy, and environmental certification as a non-profit organization. Next, Mali’s Sadya Touré chairs Mali Musso that empowers women through education to destigmatize gender-based violence.
Representing Bangladesh, 26-year old Shomy Chowdhury is an activist that deals with water, sanitation, and hygiene issues to ensure access to these things is guaranteed through her global organization, Awareness 360 across 23 countries. Last, on the list, Zimbabwe’s Tafara Makaza study astrophysics who has also launched startups to build transportation, energy, agriculture, and education solutions.
These youths are great examples of how corporates can contribute to the development of the world and through Generation17, Samsung and UNDP are fully committed to the cause by providing mentorship, networking opportunities, and Galaxy devices to help broaden the reach of each of the young leaders’ voices and strengthen their organizations and businesses. The Global Goals app aims to increase awareness of the Goals and has raised $1 million USD in donations while showing users how they can make a difference as well.
