About us
Dr. Toyin Opasanmi M.D.
Co-founder Global Vision Foundation
Medical DIrector
We have one voice and one premise that the “Suffering of One is the Suffering of All”. We are dedicated to working with the most vulnerable people to transform the most desperate circumstances into a life of hope and inspiration.
Many people have been touched by the disease of poverty in our community. Poverty as a disease ranks amongst such diseases as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, HIV/AIDS, malaria, and others.
Some inflicted are financially/economically poor, some physically poor (unhealthy), some spiritually poor, yet some are emotionally poor.
Many have died in poverty which is preventable. Poverty causes disparities in health accessibility, education, finances, and general well-being.
GVF and its volunteers believe that we have a social and civic responsibility to our constituent communities to address the social and environmental issues facing the underprivileged, hence assist in making a difference. As we partner with organizations to combat preventable diseases, we are committed to providing affordable, and when able, free services to the under-served in our local communities and in developing countries around the world.
We have partnered with organizations to provide free comprehensive healthcare to several communities over the years through medical missions. We have assisted in caring for the health and education of children in orphanages. We are partnering with organizations to improve poor environmental situations as funding permits. We are excited at the many opportunities we have to impact lives positively.
We have been blessed with a handful of dedicated, God fearing, people loving, like-minded, poverty hating individuals who work relentlessly to bridge disparity one person, one family, and one community at a time.
