He Gave Up Millions to Educate the Poor
What would make a millionaire give up everything to rebuild lives from scratch? 🌍
In this powerful episode of the Super Entrepreneurs Podcast, host Shahid Durrani sits down with Dr. Abraham George, founder of the Shanti Bhavan Children’s Project — a revolutionary school changing the future of India’s poorest children.
After selling his Finance company to a Fortune 500 firm, Dr. George made a life-changing decision: to dedicate his wealth, time, and expertise to break the cycle of poverty through Education.
