Anita Choudhrie: My mother had a terminal eye problem, so much so, that by the time she was fifty she was completely blind. However, growing up I always admired how she continued to live her life with such endeavour, confidence and purpose. She was rarely dependent on other people and managed to live each day to the full despite this challenge. Having witnessed her strength and determination, I wanted to empower other individuals, facing unique challenges, with the same resolve.

As a result, I became deeply passionate about my own charitable work, and this led me to the path I am on today.
