Experienced New York-based business executive and educator Joann Baney owns and serves as vice president of the Professional Development Company, Inc., and works as an associate professor at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs. In addition to her various professional responsibilities, Joann Baney supports the work of ChildFund International.
In pursuit of its mission to promote the well-being of children around the globe, ChildFund currently conducts a number of campaigns in a variety of areas. A major focus of the organization’s work is helping children, especially girls, overcome the obstacles that prevent them from receiving a quality education.
As a component of this work, ChildFund oversees its Dream Bike program, which provides bicycles for girls living in rural communities throughout Africa and Asia. The bikes distributed through the program not only provide an efficient mode of transportation to help female students travel to and from school but also help them to avoid the various issues, such as extreme fatigue that results from walking, that often cause them to drop out at an early age.
