In this episode, we’re back with Cassandra Treadwell, founder and CEO of So They Can, diving deeper into how health, human rights, and education intersect in some of the world’s poorest communities.
Cass shares the remarkable story of how $2.50 can unlock years of government funding for a child’s schooling and why investing in girls’ education delivers the highest return of any global initiative. We also explore how So They Can tackles maternal health, child marriage, and female genital cutting with scalable, community-led solutions.
This episode shows how charity becomes true impact when paired with data, accountability, and an exit strategy. If you’ve ever wondered how small, smart investments can break cycles of poverty and create intergenerational change, you’ll leave this conversation with both hope and a new framework for giving.
Here’s the difference we can make together: if just 1,000 listeners gave $100 a year, we could fully fund a So They Can medical clinic in Kenya, changing thousands of lives for years to come.
