Maruti Bhikaji Ambare rolls bidis for a living. Due to cataracts, the loss of vision lead to a drop in his earnings. Sight restoring cataract surgery with MFV's support allowed him to return to work again.
2. Maruti Bhikaji Ambare lives with his wife & daughter. The
couple earn their living by rolling bidis. It's tedious, time-
consuming work as they are paid by the number of bidis rolled.
3. Ambare started developing low vision in one of his eyes. This
led to a drop in the number of bidis he could roll, leading to a
loss in income for his family.
4. This turn of events caused severe mental anguish for him.
Until, one day he got to know of a MFV supported eye camp
20Kms away from home.
5. At the camp, Ambare was diagnosed with cataract. Sight
restoring surgery was performed at Tulsi Chanrai Eye Hospital.
He is now back to contributing to the family's income as before.
