In a remote Nepalese mountain village, 75-year-old Ratna and his wife Chandramaya find new hope as GoodVision’s eye camp brings much-needed glasses and care right to their doorstep.

Ratna Suwal is 75 years old, and his wife Chandramaya is 70. They have been married for 45 years. Their home is an old village house in the municipality of Roshi in the Nepalese Mountains. The couple live in seclusion with just one goat - they had to sell their buffalo three months ago because it had become too difficult for him to cut the grass. 

When GoodVision offered an eye camp in her remote mountain village, Chandramaya was very happy because she knew her eyesight had worsened over the years. A pair of reading glasses now helps her greatly in her daily life. She would never have undertaken the long journey to the city for this. That’s why it is especially important that eye screenings are provided in places where help rarely arrives.
