Celebrate 20 Years of Transforming Lives
Our 20th anniversary is a time to celebrate the impact we’ve built together over two decades. To mark this milestone, we are introducing our 20 for 20 Planned Giving Initiative, inviting supporters to consider how their values can create opportunity for generations to come.
Together, we can ensure that future scholars continue to experience the life-changing power of education.

We are continuing our 20 for 20 storytelling series with Dr. Daniel Femi ⭐
Dr. Femi is a Doctor of Optometry and public health advocate from Nigeria who is transforming access to eye care through innovation, leadership, and service. A dedicated WMI Alum and Global Advisory Board member, he has played key roles across the network—from Educate Your Own (EYO) to global leadership—championing scholar-led initiatives and expanding opportunities for others.
🎓 After earning his Doctor of Optometry degree from the University of Benin in 2024, Daniel developed expertise in ocular disease management, low-vision rehabilitation, and epidemiology—skills he now applies as an Eye Doctor at St. Teresa Specialist and Laser Eye Centre. Beyond clinical care, he is leading efforts to address preventable blindness in underserved communities, where millions still lack access to basic eye health services.
Through initiatives like the Rural CARE program and the Sustainable Rural Eye Care Programme (SREP), supported by WMI CDG Seed and Growth Grants, Daniel has delivered screenings, treatment, and referrals to thousands. As Co-Founder of Iconnect, he also launched the Icare Programme, leveraging digital tools to raise cataract awareness and connect patients to free surgical care. His partnerships with local and international organizations have further expanded access to screenings, eyeglasses, and life-changing surgeries.
Thank you, Dr. Femi, for your unwavering commitment to advancing equitable health systems throughout Nigeria! Your work inspires the entire global community. 🌍
