Manage episode 425623120 series 3390008
Umra Omar's contribution to community and transforming the lives of others is a remarkable story. Born on the remote Patay Island just off the northern coast of Kenya, Umra earned a bachelor's degree in neuroscience and psychology and then a master's degree in social justice and intercultural relations from the world leading institute in Vermont.
In 2015, during a visit to her hometown, Umra recognized the dire need for healthcare in her community and founded Safari Doctors. Safari Doctors operates mobile clinics across Kenya, reaching over a thousand patients a month, through boats, motorcycles, and on foot. Umra's incredible work has seen her named as the UN Person of the Year in Kenya and received the Africa Leaders for Change Award.
She was recognized by the World Economic Forum as a young global leader, a CNN top 10 hero and featured in Business Daily's top 40 under 40 women.
