Blind Granny Jane


We have a lady in just now who has been wet for forty years.. and yet she has the most beautiful smile. She is also blind with cataracts and the hospital has paid for her to have one done and she will get the other done in a month.

Our field nurse who drove 6 hours on potholed roads out to her area to look for patients had to walk by footpath 3 miles to her village. Once confirmed that she had a fistula, which she would like repaired she was carried to the vehicle on someone’s back.

What a joy it is to send her home dry and seeing!
