Obtaining a quality education is the foundation to improving people’s lives. Join us as we travel in Thailand and India to explore innovative solutions being implemented to address the education challenges facing some of the world’s most vulnerable.

For every year that a girl attends school she, by implication, doesn't get married, doesn't have children, nor die in childbirth due to her very young age, and as if that isn't enough, her household income increases by ten to fifteen percent. Sadly, India has the highest rate of out-of-school girls in the world and the number of child brides and sexual or other forms of female slavery is amongst the highest on the planet. But dedicated NGOs, with the backing of innovative financing instruments are changing this landscape in inspiring ways.

And in Thailand, migrant construction workers originating from countries like Myanmar, Laos and Cambodia, flee ethnic cleansing, persecution and poverty; bringing with them over 60 000 migrant children who are left vulnerable and handicapped. Having to adapt to a new culture, a new language and a new way of life, it’s a massive problem needing bold and creative solutions. ‘The Good Space’ is one such solution; providing safety, education and health care to grow the opportunities available to these children and their families.

Join TIME FOR GLOBAL ACTION to explore how innovative partnerships, committed companies and passionate individuals can deliver social upliftment and sustainable opportunities for vulnerable youth.
