The Gift of Sight for Blessings: Your Support Can Change a Life
There is a remarkable young girl named Blessings (Kampasa area, Meanwood Ndeke) whose story calls us to compassion and action. Blessings is 15 years with so much potential and enjoys spending time at our community library. Unfortunately, her eyesight stands as an obstacle between her and the dreams she cherishes.
Blessings first underwent eye surgery in 2014 when she was 4 years old, resulting in her receiving artificial lenses to help with her sight. However, as the years have passed, Blessings’ struggles have persisted. Now, once again, she needs urgent surgical intervention—the doctors have determined that another operation is necessary before she can be prescribed the glasses that could finally bring her the clear vision she desperately needs.
In early 2025, Blessings joined Umi Foundation, under the library project called the Read and Learn Project, an initiative designed to nurture a love of reading, creativity, and education among young people in Lusaka and Chongwe.
Our social services team took a closer look into her circumstances, after observating her struggle to read. They arranged consultations at a leading eye hospital in Lusaka, the specialists conducted thorough examinations and concluded that another surgery was necessary. The cost, however, is significant for Blessings and her family. The procedure requires K3,000—a sum that is beyond the reach of many families in our community.
With your support , we can give Blessings the gift of clear vision and a brighter future . EVERY KWACHA COUNTS❤️
