Episode Synopsis

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.TIME STAMPS:00:00 Intro/Hook02:02Cassandra Tredwell's Background and So They Can’s Mission03:24 Health and Education Integration06:57 Challenges and Solutions in Health and Education10:41 Community Health Projects and Sustainability13:57 Medical Camps and Community Empowerment17:04 Challenges of Gender Violence and Cultural Practices23:01 Impact of Education on Community Development32:44 Geopolitical and Technological Impact on Development48:38 Conclusion/Outro—---SHOW NOTES LINKShttps://ifdgroup.com.au/ https://doctorbi.com.au/ https://au.linkedin.com/in/mian-bihttps://www.linkedin.com/in/cassandra-treadwell-00a22832/https://www.sotheycan.org/-----LISTEN TO THE PODCASTLISTEN TO THE PODCAST:Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3FoBRAyApple Podcast: https://apple.co/4iks50NAmazon Music: https://amzn.to/3DoyJnP-----FIND US HEREWebsite: https://ifdgroup.com.au/ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/investingfordoctors Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/investingfordoctors -----DISCLAIMERThe information provided in this podcast is for general purposes only and should not be considered personal advice.
