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).

Ayat Abuznade is a true gem to the world. Having the opportunity to converse with her, I've seen a heart that truly loves people and looks to make a true impact. 

In this Episode we discuss

1. What gave her the desire to start this mission?
2. The Problems Refugee's are facing in Lesvos 
3. How they are helping the refugee situation?
4. How we can help

In 2014 Ayat’s life took an unexpected turn after volunteering at Zaatari Refugee Camp. Zaatari is the largest camp for Syrian refugees that has gradually evolved into a permanent settlement and is located at the border of Syria and Jordan. There she connected with many families and witnessed the devastating impact the war had on 80,000 of the world’s most vulnerable people. Yaseen, an 8-year-old boy stood shyly smiling behind several children with a warm gentle sparkle in his eyes that Ayat could never forget. She noticed his right arm was amputated and was determined to see what life looked like through Yaseen’s eyes. While in Damascus, Yaseen flew from a missile shell that tore parts of his left upper limb while trying to run for safety and shelter with his family to a nearby home. Yaseen’s story was one of thousands of children that were left with disabilities. Upon returning back to her home in Chicago, her view of the world completely changed. Life could never be the same. Ayat knew she would dedicate and spend the rest of her life making a difference in the lives of children and families fleeing conflict and living in poverty all over the world.

She continued to travel immensely, volunteering at several camps that helped to protect people recovering from war. In 2015, Ayat met Salam while volunteering in Lesvos, Greece, which at that time was the epicenter for the refugee crisis sweeping Europe. There the real crisis had just begun. There were no large organized groups of help, just several small groups of volunteers who helped receive thousands of refugees a day arriving on dinghy boats and completely soaked wet, freezing, and disoriented. Witnessing nothing like this before she was completely overwhelmed and devastated by the situation. Many were not fortunate enough to make it safely and survive.

Ayat vowed that she would continue to do anything possible to instill hope and happiness back in the lives of people and therefore continued to travel to various camps helping people suffering from crisis all over the world. In 2018 she returned back to Lesvos, Greece after hearing how neglected and overcrowded Moria Refugee Camp was and how it became known as the “the worst refugee camp on earth.” Since then, she’s continued to volunteer and contribute to the operations at the Hope and Peace Center founded in 2018 which serves as a safe space for women and children across Moria Camp. Here she felt she was beginning to witness true hope and happiness light back up in women and children’s eyes. She knew there would always be a need for more in the world and this is what inspired her to start Team Humanity USA in 2019.
