Ryan: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! Fair Trade works to change the way businesses buy and sell products for the purpose of benefiting people and the planet. Better pay, safer workplaces, protecting water and forests, all while empowering farmers, factory workers, and those working on fishing boats. We support these individuals with the opportunities they need to provide safe homes, education, clean water, healthcare, and other needs as they identify them in their own communities. Fair Trade isn't a charity where we just give things away—rather, it is a method of using business to benefit workers in ways that are more fair.

Ana: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! Teach For All is a global network of 60 independent partner organizations and a global organization that works to accelerate the progress of the network. Each partner recruits and develops promising future leaders to teach millions of students for two years in their nations’ under-resourced schools and communities and to work with others, inside and outside of education, to ensure all children are able to fulfill their potential, despite obstacles like poverty, hunger, discrimination, and trauma.

Rafael: Glad to be with you, Spiffy! At Parceiros da Educação, our main goal is to increase the learning levels within the public educational system of the State of São Paulo to the highest in Latin America by 2040. Our challenges include the current learning levels—which are low in Brazil as a whole: only 10% of Brazilian students leave K-12 schools with adequate proficiency in math, for example—and the size of the São Paulo network, which has more than 5.6 million students.
