A Message From Our Co-Founder

Hi everyone! My name is Natalie Chen and I am a fourth-year student at McMaster University in the Bachelors of Health Sciences Program. I originally founded World in Focus with Grace Wu in 2016, and seeing the organization grow to impact hundreds of youth has been both humbling and inspiring. I have served as the President of WiF for its first two years and have spearheaded many of the events we currently organize - including our international writing and art contest, In Focus! After graduating high school and passing the baton, I now serve as a mentor to many of the talented individuals on WiF's executive team and help oversee WiF's expansion. Stay tuned for exciting developments!

WHO WE ARE

World in Focus (WiF) is a non-profit organization established in 2016 to combat the lack of optical care in the world. Our mission rests on two core aspects: to fundraise and to raise awareness. With an entire team of dedicated volunteers, we cannot wait to explore what's in store for us as we create change.
