Setti is very happy because of your help

Cataract blindness is very common among poor people living in rural areas in India. There are no ophthalmologists in these regions and widespread poverty ensures they remain blind due to untreated cataracts. To help such people become active in society, Sankurathri designed a community outreach program in which they take eye care to the door steps of the needy and poor in rural and remote areas.

Under this program, their medical team visits a place and conducts free eye examinations for all the people there. All minor ailments are treated there at the camp site. If anyone requires cataract surgery, Sankurathri representatives advise them and perform all preoperative testing to verify their suitability for cataract surgery. Willing participants are sent transportation to the hospital the same day.

Setti has two sons and she has been living with her son’s family ever since she became a widow thirteen years ago. As she has been a house wife for a long time, she could never go out and earn a living, though she has been helping her son’s family at home. Unfortunately, for the last year she couldn’t work at home because of her poor eye sight. Her son escorted her to Sankurathri’s free eye camp where she received cataract surgery free of cost.

Thank you both for your kindness. Setti is ecstatic to have her vision restored.
