“As I was watching TV, I started seeing blurry pictures, so I decided to go to bed, when I woke up, I wasn’t seeing anymore.” Simon ikiriza narrated to us.
He added that his parents took him to different hospitals where he was operated 3 times, however, the doctors concluded that his sight couldn’t be regained. Simon is visually impaired due to congenital glaucoma.
Simon ikiriza notes that whatever visual challenges he faces, he never lets that get in his way.
He proudly does craft making for a living. Among the things he makes out of craft include, mats, dolls for infants, necklaces out of beads, and bags.
He says that, initially the business was small but later he begun contracting with schools and local stores. This enabled his business to prosper.
Ikiriza attributes his success to the support of his counselor and his family over the years. However, there’s no doubt that Simon would not be where he is today without a tremendous amount of hard work and determination on his own part. He hopes that in sharing his success story it might make a difference in the lives of others with visual impairments considering their own career goals.
