      OUTREACH LEAD

      As a budding public health practitioner, I lead outreach for the VisionSpring Livelihood in Focus project at St. Ignatius Eye Center, working to extend essential eye care to underserved communities. Ghana currently has unevenly distributed eye care in terms of facilities and accessibility, leaving most rural communities deprived of basic eye care. My role is to bridge the gap and improve livelihoods by purposively extending eyecare to these deprived areas.
