The miracle gift of sight
Aanand, aged 7, from Nepal, South Asia, couldn’t see well enough to play, so the other children mocked him and sent him away.
Blindness makes it more likely that children like Aanand will miss out on opportunities like education, and playing with friends.
Life for people living in poverty in low- and middle-income countries like Nepal is hard enough. A child growing up needlessly blind faces even greater barriers.
You can be part of the miracle children and families like Aanand wish for.
A precious gift from you can transform children’s lives
Unable to see clearly due to cataracts in both his eyes, Aanand struggled to keep up in school, and even simple joys like playing marbles with his friends became impossible.
Aanand has high hopes for his own future. He told us, “After studying, I want to become a doctor. I want to fix the eyes of other children who are suffering.”
Join us in sharing a prayer or message of hope
Loving God, we pray for all who are living with the challenges of blindness and poverty. Surround them with your love, and bring them hope this New Year. May their dreams be restored, and their futures brightened by the kindness of others. Amen.
