She Walked to Her Field Again
For more than a year, Founou Agbanna stayed inside her home.
She is a farmer in Afagnan-Bas Mono. Cataracts slowly took her sight, and with it, her independence. She could no longer dress herself. She could not walk to her field. Her aunt’s child guided her everywhere.
“The hardest part,” she said, “was feeling like a burden.”
When our mobile team came to her village, she arrived quietly and a little afraid. But she was met with kindness. The surgery did not take long.
The next morning, when her bandages were removed, she could see.
Soon after, she walked to her field on her own.
Now she dresses herself. She moves through her village freely. Her family no longer has to guide her everywhere.
It may seem small to say she can see again. But in her home, it has changed everything.
Thank you for helping bring light to her village.
