Beating Poverty Through Education + Policy 💪🏽
SZ 140: Pathways to Prosperity, we explore the transformative power of education as a tool to break the cycle of poverty. Featuring Santosh Pandey, an award-winning entrepreneur and educator from Nepal, and Wendy Shew, this live show highlights actionable solutions and inspiring stories from around the globe. Santosh brings a wealth of experience, from co-founding Nepal's largest experiential gifting platform, "Offering Happiness", to launching "Oho Cake". His recognition as a Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree and his work as a visiting lecturer at Nepal’s premier universities make him uniquely positioned to discuss how innovation in education and entrepreneurship can create lasting change. We'll dive into how localized solutions, like Santosh’s Change Bhaktapur initiative he started at age 16, empowers communities to overcome systemic barriers.
The conversation will also spotlight Santosh’s experience in governance and youth leadership development, including his work with the Global Shapers Community, his role as Program Director for We Inspire Nepal, and his representation of Nepal at Summer Davos 2023. Together with Wendy (founder of Building Education) our panel will examine strategies for equipping underrepresented populations with the skills and networks needed to access opportunity, touching on education, entrepreneurship, and digital tools. Join us as we uncover inspiring pathways to prosperity and explore how innovative education models can ignite a brighter future for individuals and communities worldwide.
