I’m joining Catalyst Now, because systems change, community is needed. We’ve built replicable, self-funded eye care models served 2.7M people, but to scale globally, we need bold collaborators. I hope to learn from changemakers tackling structural barriers through innovation, justice, and policy. We do not have all the answers. But we know what is at stake. And this movement can help us grow, lead, and build better together.

I look forward to inspire my community, from children to youth, women and decision makers to be part of a team that would bring justice in Libya. As a country that has been colonized through much of its history, making our own fair system and awareness has been always on a jeopardized development. I wish to share the knowledge I have acquired through my study at a German school, then moving to London then to Ankara, to cause my community to think from different perspective.
