Watch: One Family Back From The Brink Of Extreme Poverty

When Hari became blind due to cataracts in 2021, he immediately became unemployed - his food stall lay abandoned, and he could no longer work in the fields.

The family was on the verge of extreme poverty when Hari's blindness was referred to the Tej Kohli and Ruit Foundation.
