Ending The Cycle Of Poverty Through Education With Dr. Abraham George

India’s caste system may be deeply embedded in its culture, but it is hindering skilled and inspired young people from getting equal opportunities. Dr. Abraham George is on a mission to put an end to the cycle of poverty by making high-quality education easily accessible to the country’s lowest socioeconomic class. Joining Corinna Bellizzi, he shares about founding The Shanti Bavon School in India, a boarding school committed to guiding children from their first day of school to their first day of work. Dr. Abraham also opens up on how they keep the institution up and running even without government support and how it has positively impacted around 15,000 people.About Guest:Dr. Abraham is a renowned philanthropist and social entrepreneur, best known for founding the Shanti Bhavan School in India. Growing up in India, Dr. Abraham saw social injustices at an early age, which he one day hoped to address. After a few years of service in the Indian Army, he moved to the US to study at NYU (Stern) and became a top finance executive and entrepreneur, leading companies like Credit Suisse First Boston and founding Multinational Computer Models, Inc. After 22 years away, he returned to India to fulfil his promise of empowerment and set up The George Foundation in 1995. The nonprofit supported ideas like Shanti Bhavan, Project Lead-Free, and Baldev Medical Center, and earned him the Spirit of India Award.Guest LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/shanti-bhavan-children's-projectGuest Website: https://www.shantibhavanchildren.orgGuest Social: https://www.instagram.com/shanti_bhavanhttps://www.youtube.com/user/ShantiBhavanSchoolhttps://www.facebook.com/ShantiBhavanhttps://x.com/ShantiBhavanAdditional Resources Mentioned:Advancing African Excellence Through Education Investments with Dr. Lydiah Kemunto Bosire of 8B Education InvestmentsThese 4 college students from Shanti Bhavan School have an incredible story to tellJOIN OUR CIRCLE.
