"I'm convinced that investment to unlock human capital is the path to reduce inequality, and bring about a more peaceful planet. With so many young people throughout Africa and South Asia, we have a chance to see some of the most positive change in human history. The window won't be open forever, and I'm proud that through Big Win Philanthropy, we'll help leaders make the most of the opportunity."
