Elpida Kokkota: Opening up Educational Opportunities for Women

Elpida: Thanks for having me, Spiffy. The World Health Organization says that 736 million women all over the world are at risk. We help women in vulnerable communities across the world get an education that's easier to understand and use. We give them a chance to learn and get a special diploma from the Ivy League school—Cornell University. This helps them have more opportunities to earn money and improves their tough situations. Our goal is to make sure women in faraway places can learn skills that make their lives better by giving them more self-confidence, freedom, and a better place in society.

Tom Dannatt: Accessibility to Education for Children in the World’s Toughest Places
Thanks for having me, Spiffy! Did you know that 1 in 10 children worldwide don’t go to school? School is important for children to learn life skills and make friends, and, yet, because of poverty, war, climate change, and natural disasters like earthquakes and floods, they can’t go. At Street Child we help children in more than 25 countries, like Ukraine and Afghanistan, access education. We build schools, train teachers, and help parents earn money for school fees.
