Ambassador Steven J.

From a realization that education is not accessible to many, Carmina Bayombong and her partner Ronald Replan now sustain hundreds of students through InvestEd, a social enterprise that provides loans to help unbanked youths finance their schooling. Bayombong, the CEO and co-founder of InvestEd, said her company not only helps provide students with the necessary funding to continue their studies but also counseling and coaching to ensure they succeed from school to workforce. "My parents broke out of poverty by getting a college degree and ever since I was growing up, they taught me that education is a very powerful tool for success but not everyone has access to it and my parents were right because when I was studying engineering in college, I saw my own friends become part of this statistics," she said.
