Born with bilateral cataracts, Samjhana (10) and Anshu (6) were slowly losing their sight. School became impossible and daily tasks were dangerous. Their mother feared they’d never have a normal childhood.
Through a CBM partner hospital, both received sight-saving surgery and glasses. Now they’re back in school, helping at home, and dreaming boldly again.
