In the coalfields of Jharkhand, 35-year-old Radhiya faces long, dangerous days - now made safer and easier thanks to a simple pair of glasses that help her see clearly again.
Radhiya Devi is 35 years old and lives in Dhanbad, a town in the middle of the Jharkhand coalfield. The people here only know hard work in the mines. Radhiya collects coal every day, a tedious and dangerous job.
The young woman had long had great difficulty seeing, especially in the dark. Walking home after a long day at work became a daily challenge. After she had her eyes tested at an eye camp organized by GoodVision she bought a pair of glasses. They make her life so much easier and safer, says Radhiya.
