Transforming People With Disabilities in India

Thanks to your support, we have been able to transform the lives of individuals with disabilities, like Selvakumari, who face immense challenges in their daily lives. Selvakumari, a deaf woman living alone despite having a family, has endured years of neglect and isolation.

When Selvakumari attended an eye check-up in March, she shared her struggles with blurred vision. The doctors diagnosed her with cataracts and recommended immediate surgery. However, her circumstances posed significant barriers. Her family refused to support her, and government hospitals required an attendant for the procedure. With no one to accompany her, Selvakumari felt hopeless.

Thanks to your generosity, a solution was found. With the help of our partners, the found Selvakumari a free eye surgery camp organized by an optical shop that did not require an attendant. Our team on the ground in India patiently explained the process to her in sign language, ensuring she understood the importance of post-surgery rest. Selvakumari committed to taking care of herself during recovery.

This life-changing intervention was made possible because of your support. Selvakumari left the check-up with hope and gratitude, knowing she could regain her vision and independence. Thank you for making this transformation possible.
