For over five decades, Teresa Chepkwemoi has tilled the soil of her farm in John Power Village, Endebess Constituency in Trans Nzoia County.
From maize and beans to indigenous vegetables and finger millet, Chepkwemoi has worked tirelessly to put food on the table for her family.
But little did she know that her daily exposure to the sun's harsh ultraviolet (UV) rays was slowly robbing her of her sight. "I started experiencing photophobia (sensitivity to light) about seven years ago.
Later, my vision became blurry, but I thought it was just a normal condition," Chepkwemoi told The Standard recently.
