„Saltu and his wife Parameswory became blind in their childhood. Parameswory’s mother tried to scratch an infection out of her eye using the prickly piece of a pumpkin skin when her eyeballs burst. Their parents set up an arranged marriage for both of them. They live in a squatter settlement in central Kathmandu, Nepal. Begging is their only income and is mostly done by Parameswory. She often carries her baby Manjila with her to gain more profit – less than a dollar a day. This money has to be enough to sustain the household.“
