Embracing Seva’s commitment to ‘inspiring inclusion,’ I am thrilled to introduce you to four remarkable women leaders and mentors with whom I recently engaged in invigorating conversations.
Sunita Arora has supported more than 1500 women as they jump-started their careers in eye care.
Ms. Yogita, an optometrist, previously served as a trainer with the Eye Mitra team. Her contributions have played a crucial role in the remarkable expansion of the Allied Ophthalmic Personnel program in Saharanpur, India.
Sangeeta Patil started as an Executive Assistant at our partner hospital, H.V. Desai, in India and manages all data and records.
Christina Alfaro – with 15 years at the hospital Divino Niño Jesus in Lima, Peru, she began as a nursing technician. Through her perseverance and leadership, she became part of the surgical team, and today, she is the Coordinator of the Vision Centers of Divino Niño Jesus.
Each of these extraordinary women received Seva-supported training and are highly respected, in-demand eye care leaders today.
I invite you to hear firsthand about their career path and goals and how they chart a path for women and girls to begin their journeys.
Yours in Seva,
Kate Moynihan
CEO/Executive Director
