Earlier this week we posted about the great stuff going on at the Clinton Global Initiative, but yesterday was a particularly special moment in Vittana history.
Wednesday September 22, we announced the launch of our new initiative Vittana/Africa: Bringing Student Loans to Africa on stage at the special plenary session on Democratizing Education at CGI. This initiative marks our entrance into Africa, where we hope to serve more than 10,000 students with access to loans for post-secondary education within the next five years. (Learn more in our full press release.)
We were recognized as a CGI Commitment Maker by special guests like retired General Wesley Clark and were honored by receiving a handshake from President Bill Clinton himself.
We don’t have the official photos yet, so please forgive the blurry shot below, but here’s our fearless Co-Founder and CEO with General Clark at CGI.
And if you’d care to view it, here’s the entire plenary session on how education is the key to economic growth:
