Ambitious to overcome the challenges
Ranjan Gupta (name changed) is 23 years old. He is from Chikali, Buldana in Maharashtra. He belongs to a six-member family of his mother, father and four siblings. His father is a farmer and his mother is unemployed, thus a low-income family. He was born with his eyes shut and his parents found out there were no eyeballs in his eye socket, leaving him blind. Though the child’s eye condition left the parents shocked, they never lost hope and always took care of him.

A lifetime of challenges
The first time Rajesh Chauhan (name changed), a 70-year-old visually impaired man connected to Eyeway from Ahmednagar, Maharashtra was in March 2017.

In the past months, there were many interactions between our counsellor and Mojesh. Most of the issues he sought answers to, were regarding his financial needs.
