Transforming the Lives of Children
Manage episode 294048528 series 2821839
Iza Hehre is truly a beautiful soul. The impact she is making towards children, currently in Kenya is remarkable.
M.A.D. Casters wants to Host a Camp and donate $1000 in order to make this a reality. We will partner and work with Ovi Health care to make this a reality.
Seeing the failure of humanitarian aid to transform the health, happiness and security of children, Iza Hehre founded OVI Healthcare.
Iza’s late nephew Ovidio (known as Ovi) passed away when he was four. He was an orphan in Guatemala in the process of being adopted by Iza’s sister. This tragedy inspired Iza to start the charity in his name. Today, Iza and her 100% locally staffed team run the charity from the OVI Children’s Hospital in Kenya.
Iza’s vision then and now is a world where no child is alone. She knows what works and sees it working every day. The next step is introducing this approach across Africa and Asia to end the orphan crisis and prevent poverty.
Iza Hehre is an internationally acclaimed social entrepreneur, a dually licensed US Physician Assistant and Kenyan Clinical Officer, best selling author, and the youngest ever recipient of the Muhammad Ali Humanitarian Award for Global Citizenship (among fellow laureates US President Jimmy Carter, Michael J Fox and Christina Aguilera).
