When Vaishnavi started stumbling and not playing like she usually did, doctors diagnosed her with a cataract that could steal away her sight forever. But the cheerful young girl received life-changing treatment by Orbis trained doctors the very next day—and now she can see!
Now She Can See Because of Orbis Supporters!
