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.

Anna: It’s great to be here, Spiffy! I live in Brazil, a beautiful but very unequal country, where the rich have many privileges and the poor face difficulties in accessing basic rights. In my country, racism is considered a crime, but it continues to exist and deepens inequalities. Black, brown, and indigenous people are seen and treated with prejudice. Cis men also have more opportunities than women and the LGBTQIA+ population. Education could reduce these inequities, but underprivileged groups generally go to the worst schools, are unable to learn well, and have great difficulty improving their lives. We want to promote more equity in education to reduce inequality in Brazil and in other countries in the Global South.
