Breaking the Vicious Cycle of Poverty and Blindness

In rural Meghalaya, poverty and blindness form a devastating cycle that traps entire families in desperation. When breadwinners lose their sight, they lose their ability to work and provide for their loved ones.

Meanwhile, families living in poverty cannot afford basic eye care, making preventable blindness inevitable. This cruel cycle deepens with each generation, robbing communities of their potential and dignity.

Trapping families in a cycle of debt and dependency that can last for generations.
