Today we launched the Google.org Impact Challenge for Women and Girls, calling on ideas from nonprofits and social organizations around the world to advance the economic empowerment of women and girls and create pathways to prosperity. Google.org will provide $25 million in overall funding and mentoring to Impact Challenge grantees to bring their ideas to life.
YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki and creator Prajakta Koli are members of the Impact Challenge’s expert panel, a group of women leaders from more than 15 countries with expertise in global public policy, advocacy, and technology. They will help guide the selection of ideas with the greatest potential for impact.
Following up on their conversation about their shared interest in girls’ education in 2019, Susan asked Prajakta a few questions about what it’s like to be a creator and an activist.
