We like to collect stories. Stories of the people we meet, whose lives we inadvertantly become a part of through our camps, our volunteer work, and our councelling and training programmes. These stories are as much a way for us to share our work with you, as they are a way for us to remember, and through this collective memory, to keep the fire of passion, dedication and compassion alive in ourselves. Each story lends a face to every digit in the number of patients we have had the fortune of healing, in over three decades. It reminds us of why we started Venu. And most importantly, each story keeps us connected. With the people we meet everyday. With our work. With our team members. And with the reason we are all here \u2013 to ensure that every one, regardless of where they live and what their means are, has the right to access quality health care with dignity.<\/p>\n\n\n

Dimmed vision because of cataract was restricting Smt. Guddi Devi\u2019s ability to perform even the most basic household chores and sensitivity to light prohibited her from working outside. Post-surgery, Smt. Guddi is very happy because she can resume her work as a labourer, and does not need to rely on her family members for any aid<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smt. Rameshwari is from a small village. Smt. Rameshwari contributes at home by doing household chores but was able to help less and less over time, as her vision dimmed. Due to lack to financial support, she had no other way but to wait for a miracle to happen. She had started to lose hope. That\u2019s when one day her neighbour told her about a Free Eye Camp organized by Venu Eye Institute near their village, where she was diagnosed with cataract.\u00a0 Today post-surgery with her eyesight restored, Smt. Rameshwari is happy that she can continue doing her daily activities and look after her family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
