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.
