Venkamma is independent again

Venkamma is a 65 year old widow is living in the village of Jagannadhapuram in Andhra Pradesh, India. Her husband, Naganna, died 20 years ago and her two sons are married and living with their families. Venkamma works as a daily laborer to make her living and earns about $ 2 a day.

For the past couple of months, Venkamma has noticed defective vision in her both eyes, which eventually prevented her from going to work. What’s worse, she cannot afford a medical checkup.

She learned about the Sankurathri Foundation and went to them for a complete eye checkup. Venkamma received a checkup and subsequent cataract surgeries free of charge. After the surgery, she needed spectacles for better vision. Your generosity allowed the Sankurathri Foundation to provide her with a pair of glasses.

Thank you for your kindness, Ryan. With your help, Venkamma can look after herself and live with dignity in her old age.
