Startups that are invariably aligned to UN 2030 sustainable development goals
2
On September 25, 2015, during the 2015 Sustainable Development Summit, the 193 member United Nations passed a draft resolution of the 15-year-plan – the 17 goals called the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. These goals come as a cover to the Millennial Development Goals that were charted in 2000.
The world stood in unison and applauded. Even Pope Francis gave his blessing and considers these goals as a sign of hope.
Peter Drucker rightly said
, “Plans are only good intentions unless they immediately degenerate into hard work.” With the goals in place, it is now time to make these goals a reality. According to sources, the goals are said to cost about $5 trillion every year. Does that mean that all the goals, just need money for success? Absolutely not. Every small act of goodness will add up to the impact the world is aspiring for.

Mumbai, Maharashtra, India: In a land of more than 100 crore population, only 36% of women use sanitary pads. Living in poverty in remote villages and cluttered slums, these women who are riddled with issues such as hunger and safety ignore their basic rights to menstrual hygiene.
Samreedhi Bajaj, a 16-year-old intern from Youth for Global Peace & Transformation (YGPT), along with volunteers spread across Mumbai, Amritsar, Ludhiana, and Jalandhar, distributed biodegradable sanitary pads in association with Saathi pads to more than 500 underprivileged women.
