Junaid

Treated at Age 14, Delhi

One of the first patients treated through Project Prakash, Junaid has shown incredible improvements in his visual abilities. Eight years after his treatment, Junaid has shown a strong motivation to receive education, and has now passed his 8th standard exam with help of volunteer tutors.

Farana and Busra

Treated at Ages 10 and 8, Uttar Pradesh

Farana and Busra are two sisters who were found through an outreach camp organized by Project Prakash. Profoundly blind and clinging to their father before treatment, they now are much more confident, can walk around the hospital on their own, and are not afraid to share their beautiful smiles. Their father now talks of their future marriage prospects - something quite unthinkable a few years ago.

Reshma

Treated at Age 11, Uttar Pradesh

Look at that amazing smile! Reshma comes from a large family living in difficult circumstances. She has 6 siblings, her mother is blind, and her father passed away when she was 9 years old. Yet, since her treatment, Reshma hopes to get an education and to get a job to help support her family.
