Here is the bio information and what Abdiaziz Maahaay has done.

Abdiaziiz Maahay is the founder and the current executive director of Somali American Healthcare Foundation (SOMCARE). This is a non-profit organization that started with heart touching incident in 2/19/2006 of M.M. who was a 7 year old Somali girl who was a gang rape victim which destroyed her life both physically and emotionally... Maahaay and his wife were touched by this heart-breaking news which they read in Hiiraan online (a Somali owned website). They immediately took action by contacting people and organizations around Minnesota- luckily Mayo Clinic took the initiative to sponsor M.M, with the help of other organizations, individuals, US senator and hospitals like University of Minnesota which helped B.M. who had developed a huge tumor on her mouth which made her unable to eat and speak. The next served case was Mohamed a 2 year old boy who was born with bladder exstrophy for which he got a medical service at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota.

One of the major challenges that Maahaay faced was to bring a conjoined twins whose situation had no hope in life due to inadequate medical facilities and due to unskilled doctors to help with this kind of problem in Kenya. Fortunately, with the help of SOMCARE they were brought to Mayo clinic which sponsored the medical need of the conjoined twins. Not only did SOMCARE lend hand to these individuals but it opened its way to many others that had no hope in life. In addition to that SOMCARE had succeeded to medically evacuate 210 patients to Nairobi, Kenya for medical treatment.
