Special Holiday Episode of Impact Podcast with John Shegerian Features Sarah Brown to Discuss Theirworld
Sarah Brown, Chair and Founder of the global children's charity Theirworld; Executive Chair of the Global Business Coalition for Education; and wife of former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown, is the featured guest for the special holiday episode of the Impact Podcast with John Shegerian. The show is hosted by Shegerian, Co-Founder and Chairman/CEO of ERI.
Since Brown founded Theirworld in 2002, its campaigns, advocacy and ground-breaking programs have been rooted in the belief that every child deserves the best start in life, a safe place to learn and skills for the future. Brown and her team played a central role in gathering 11 million signatures ? a record for education ? for a petition that led to the creation of Education Cannot Wait, a world-first global fund for education in emergencies that has reached more than 4.6 million children.
In 2022 Theirworld spearheaded the #LetMeLearn campaign at the United Nations, which helped create a new funding mechanism that will unlock billions for education around the world.
"It was a great honor to have Sarah, a true trailblazer and impactful campaigner for global health and education, on our show to share her story and describe some of the innovative work she and the team at Theirworld are accomplishing," said Shegerian. "Our audience is sure to be moved and inspired by her tremendous efforts to make the world a better place."
"I loved joining John Shegerian on the Impact Podcast and welcomed his invitation to spotlight the pressing challenges facing global education," said Brown. "I hope the episode highlights the urgent action needed if we are to tackle the global education crisis and explains how Theirworld and its partners are working towards this through its campaigning, projects and initiatives. We want to ensure that all children are given access to the education they deserve."
