It was a privilege to spend time in Memphis with our incredible volunteer pilots and long-standing partners at @FedEx . From time in the simulator to one-on-one conversations, I was inspired by the depth of experience, commitment, and care this group brings—many with decades of service to @OrbisIntl Their dedication to excellence and safety is what keeps the Flying Eye Hospital in the air and our mission reaching patients around the world. Thank you to every pilot, volunteer, and partner who makes this work possible—we’re truly grateful to fly together. ✈️
Back on the road for a month visiting our @OrbisIntl International programs in Asia. To kick off... An inspiring milestone - 25 years of partnership and impact. Congratulations to the @Orbis India team for delivering such a thoughtful and energizing convening, and to all 47 partner institutions for the open dialogue and shared commitment to a greener, more resilient future for eye care. Partnership truly is how we move from individual efforts to lasting system change.
📣On #InternationalWomensDay I’m proud to co-author an op-ed with the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness on a simple truth: there can be no gender justice without access to eye health. Women & girls make up 55% of those living with vision loss globally, even though most cases are preventable or treatable. It’s not a failure of medicine it’s a failure of access and equity. When women and girls can see, they can learn, earn, and lead. Op-Ed: iapb.org/news/rights-ju… @OrbisIntl @Orbis_Zambia @OrbisCA @ORBISIreland @ORBISHongKong #IWD #GenderEquity #EyeHealth
🫂A moment for reflection, partnership and solidarity. Grateful to have spent Sunday with fellow women CEOs from the development and humanitarian spaces hosted by InterAction. An opportunity to reunite with friends and meet new partners and allies.
📔Visionary Shift: Scaling High-Tech Solutions and Humanitarian Neutrality for a Trachoma-Free Future thereporterethiopia.com/49473/ via @The Reporter Ethiopia - check out my interview alongside Orbis Ethiopia Country Director Dr. Sisay. @OrbisIntl
👋Grateful to be with Orbis Ethiopia celebrating 27 years of collaboration w/Ministry of Health. We work closely to eliminate trachoma & expand access to quality eye care. To date we have conducted 6M screenings, 90k cataract surgeries and established over 300 eye care units.
🤝Partnership is the way forward for iNGOs in this new global health landscape and so proud of Orbis Ethiopia in demonstrating this. What a warm reception with the Ethiopia Country Directors from peer organizations such as @CarterCenter @OrbisIntl @FredHollowsNZ @CureBlindness
Visited the Menelik Hospital and Orbis Ethiopia supported training facilities and the Eye Bank of Ethiopia, the only eye bank in sub-Saharan Africa other than South Africa, which works to reverse corneal blindness thru the collection & processing of donor corneas. @OrbisIntl
Brilliant news! 🌍 @OrbisIntl has met the @WHO trachoma elimination threshold in Sheka Zone, Ethiopia, protecting over 250,000 people from this blinding disease. 👁️ A huge step toward ending avoidable blindness! eyenews.uk.com/news/post/orbi… #eyenews
What a privilege to join @OrbisIntl Country Directors from around the globe in Cape Town, hosted by @orbisafrica for our Global Program Leadership Meeting. An opportunity to improve program models, share learnings & align on our shared vision for the future of eye health.
Great to visit our work with Orbis South Africa 🇿🇦seeing DR screening in action at Michael M Clinic, Nolungile CDC, and Khayelitsha District Hospital. Inspired by the dedication of staff, faculty & hospital leadership. 👏 Special shout out to Abraham and Veliswa! @OrbisIntl
Such a great opportunity today to visit Orbis Zambia and our partnership with Lusaka Eye Hospital & meet with Mr. Ngambi & Dr. Mumbi to understand the impact of our work related to hospital-based trainings, fellowships, equip support & community outreach.@OrbisIntl
Our @OrbisIntl "See the Future" Project focuses on reducing childhood blindness and visual impairment across 20 districts in Greater Accra & Ashanta regions in Ghana, reaching 675k people with eye care services, training 4k teachers, and screening children in over 2k schools. 💪

Thank you to the Ghana Education Service, the Ghana Health Service, and the Ministry of Health for their partnership with @OrbisIntl in joint delivery of eye care in Accra, Kumasi, and the Ashanti region - strengthening and building capacity, focusing on sustainability.
