Providing Eye Care Amid the Tea Leaves in Bangladesh
The green hills of Bangladesh are home to 167 commercial tea estates, including some of the largest active tea plantations in the world. The hard-working Bangladeshis who pick this tea are generally low-paid and face poor living conditions, including a lack of access to quality health hare facilities.
