However, the planet and its people face several issues, like climate change, poverty, not receiving proper education, not getting clean water, etc.</p><p>Yes, you and I might not be facing these challenges (except maybe climate change), but sadly, many are. There are kids like you who don’t have enough food to eat or clean water to drink.</p><p>So, the UN designated 17 goals to attain peace, prosperity, and a better future for the Earth and its people, known as the SDGs.</p><p>The SDGs are a call to action for UN member nations to work together to develop plans to end poverty, improve health and education, fight climate change, and more to make the world a better place to live.</p><h5>Meet the winners</h5><div class="raw-html-embed"><figure> <video width="100%" controls=""> <source src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/newsahoot.appspot.com/o/students-use-tech-to-make-the-world-better%2FGoogle.mp4?alt=media&amp;token=4a448667-b5d0-4887-815f-da5517a0e3c6" type="video/mp4"> </video> <figcaption>Team members who developed ATTI, Spoon Share, and Alpha-Eye.

To tackle this issue, a team of South Korean students created Atti, an app that helps people suffering from mild dementia manage memory loss.</p><p>&nbsp;</p></li><li><p><strong>Spoon Share (India):</strong> A lot of food is wasted worldwide, while many struggle to find enough food to eat. So, a team of Indian students developed Spoon Share, an app that connects people with extra food from events and restaurants to those who need it.</p><p>&nbsp;</p></li><li><p><strong>Alpha-Eye (Nigeria):</strong> In Sub-Saharan Africa, many face preventable vision impairments, leading to vision loss. A lack of awareness, early detection systems, and healthcare support contribute to this issue. So, a group of students developed Alpha-Eye, an app that can help detect eye diseases early.</p><p>&nbsp;</p></li><li><strong>Sahali (India):</strong> It is a mobile app designed by another team of Indian students to improve women’s safety in various cities. The app has features, like SOS alerts, that can alert families when they are in danger.</li></ul><p>Which one is your favourite? Let us know in the comments below.</p>
