Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:About Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use Irish English Шаблон:Infobox person Caroline Casey (born 20 October 1971)[1] is an Irish activist and management consultant. She is legally blind due to ocular albinism.[2][3] In 2000, aged 28, she left her job in Accenture to launch the Aisling Foundation, with an aim to improve how disability is treated.[1][4][3] In 2001, she trekked across India, solo, on elephant back for c.1,000 km, raising €250k for The National Council for the Blind of Ireland and Sightsavers.[5][4] Casey became the first female mahout from the west.[6] The journey was the subject of a National Geographic documentary Elephant Vision[3] and a TED Talk.[4]

Background

Casey was diagnosed with ocular albinism as a child but was not personally informed until her 17th birthday.[2] She graduated from University College Dublin with BA, DBS and MBS degrees.[7] She worked at a couple of jobs including as a management consultant for Accenture.[4]

Aisling Foundation/Kanchi

The Ability Awards, styled as the O2 Ability Awards for sponsorship reasons, were set up by the foundation in 2005 to recognise organisations that promote disability inclusion.[8][9][3][6] In 2011, the Telefónica Ability Awards were launched in Spain, with further versions planned for other countries in Europe.[6][10] In 2008 the foundation was renamed in honour of the elephant "Kanchi" used on the Indian expedition.[3][11]
