In this episode, Andrea interviews the dynamic husband-wife duo, Sarifa and Hassan Younes, who share their inspiring journey and passion for education and social mission.
Sarifa Younes, a keynote speaker, author, and serial entrepreneur, and Hassan Younes, an aerospace engineer turned entrepreneur, discuss their mission to provide quality education to disadvantaged children and women, particularly in the Philippines.
Sarifa recounts a heartbreaking story of a woman struggling to feed her children, which ignited her desire to help orphans and underprivileged families. Together with Hassan, they embarked on an “accidental mission” of supporting education, building schools, and providing scholarships for orphans and impoverished students.
The couple emphasizes the transformative power of education, particularly for women, as a means to eradicate poverty, violence, and promote societal development. They encourage others to contribute even a small amount monthly to support the cause of educating underprivileged children and women.
Hassan shares his passion for sharing knowledge and fostering social cohesion, seeing everyone as one, regardless of race, color, or gender. He highlights the ripple effect of their efforts, with students they’ve supported now paying it forward and helping others.
Sarifa and Hassan discuss the importance of balancing their businesses with their social mission, surrounding themselves with positive energy, and nurturing their employees and students. They promote their keynote speaking topics, “Complacency Kills” by Hassan and “Love Your Obstacles” by Sarifa.
This episode is an inspiring testament to the power of education, social mission, and the difference one couple can make in the lives of countless individuals.
