a way out of poverty
“I feel very happy now. I am having a good life. Not looking back, but forward!” - Srey Menh, a cheerful 34 year old woman.
Srey Menh was born blind. Her father recalls the time when he and his wife were raising their blind daughter. “It was very hard. We always had to be home to help her. She couldn’t do anything on her own. At the same time, we visited and consulted every doctor spending so much money on medicines, but unfortunately nothing helped.”
In 2005 one of the CDMD’s field staff heard about Menh and her family. “The day CDMD came to my house, my life has changed. Without their help I would still felt insecure and inferior. Not able to do anything and not having a job, which make me feel very much excluded. I feel very happy now. I am having a good life.”
