Graham: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! As Visa’s corporate foundation, Visa Foundation believes in uplifting everyone, everywhere through the power of economic mobility. Utilizing our expertise, resources, and global reach, we strive to enable equitable access to capital through grants, support broader community needs through employee volunteering, and provide disaster response in times of crises through strategic partnerships such as our partnership with the American Red Cross.
Revathi: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! Being an educationist for three decades and spearheading eight educational institutions, my spectrum of work is not only confined to academics, curriculum design, and development but also to social outreach initiatives and empowerment programs. The focal point of all my work is addressing quality and equity in education. The challenge today is to make students, parents, and teachers go beyond textbook learning and help them become thinkers. We have been running since 2015 a Rural Immersion Program to educate underprivileged children. It will result in the literacy rate increasing, a broadening of the mentality, and independent livelihood, and will also cause an attitude change and raise a responsible generation.
