Restore sight for 1,500 women in Pakistan.

49 years old Safia  is an epitome of resilience in front of all the troubles which she has faced. She has raised 4 daughters single handedly after the death of her husband and married 2 of them. She works in school as a helper and runs a small startup by selling homemade herbal hair oil a recipe which she has learnt from her grandmother in her neighborhood to make the ends meet. Safia was having difficulty in seeing properly while working in school and when she was making oil in the evenings. She went to a local clinic in her area for her eye checkup where she was told that she has cataract and will have to go through an operation to be able to see properly.

 Her Cataract was affecting her work at school as she was unable to perform her chores properly and at home while making oils the fumes coming out from boiling it were also consistently hurting her eyes. Safia was worried about how she will be able to manage her daughter’s education and her daily expenses as she was on the brink of losing her job at school and was also not able to deliver oil orders on time. She was losing hope as she had no means or extra money to spend on her eye treatment. Safia got to know about LRBT and its free of charge treatment for the underprivileged while discussing it with one of her clients who inquired why her orders were not being delivered on time.

With hope she visited LRBT, where she was treated for Cataract. After her operation she is thankful to the doctors and staff at LRBT. While leaving the hospital with a rekindled hope to provide for her 2 daughters, Safia said that she has got a second chance after being treated at LRBT to earn respectfully and have a decent chance at life.
