Mangayamma is a widow living in Vakada, India. She is 65 years old and has two sons and two daughters that no longer live with her. Mangayamma works as a laborer for minimal wages. However, she developed a severe cataract in her right eye that prevented her from working.
Mangayamma attended Sankurathri’s free clinic in a nearby village where she received an eye examination. Sankurathri provides eye checkups and cataract surgeries for Indians like Mangayamma to help prevent curable health problems. Sankurathri believes that everyone should have equal rights to health benefits and recognizes the extreme lack of this in India.
Thanks to your donations, Harini, Mangayamma will not be hindered by her poor vision any longer. She can continue to work and support herself. Without the surgery, Mangayamma would not be able to afford basic necessities and maintain her health.
Thank you again, Harini, for your generous donation to Sankurathri and Mangayamma’s vision.
