Because of COVID-19 pandemic, the livelihood of visually impaired women has been highly affected because they use to run their livelihood working daily by marketing incense stick, candle, by street singing, by singing at restaurant. And these all areas were affected because of lockdown. There was scarcity of food for them to join their hand and mouth. By realizing this, Prayatna Nepal has distributed the materials to the families of visually impaired women.
