Aminath Waheeda, a talented tailor from the Maldives, was on the brink of losing her sight due to severe cataracts. The looming darkness left her in despair, putting her passion for stitching and creativity at risk.
In late November 2024, hope arrived in the form of Dr. Lin Haotian from Sun Yat-sen University's Ophthalmic Center. Dr. Lin performed a sight-restoring surgery that would change Aminath's life forever.
Thanks to this medical intervention, Aminath regained her vision, empowering her to return to her craft with renewed confidence. Today, she continues to stitch vibrant colors and hope into every creation, a testament to the profound impact of accessible healthcare and skilled medical professionals.
