Cataracts are the world’s leading cause of vision loss, affecting over 2 billion people and yet easily treatable with eye surgery. Despite this, for those living in poverty, a lack of access to free healthcare means they often suffer blindness, unable to afford treatment. With your eye charity, Al-Wahab Foundation is working in disadvantaged regions to deliver free eye surgery, restoring vision and providing relief. Donate our eye charity project today and give back their sight.
Vision impairment can affect a whole family’s health and wellbeing. Unable to work, families fall into further poverty. With your eye charity, Our Eye Cataract Surgeries Project provides free eye surgeries and medication to those who are unable to afford treatment. We work in some of the most disadvantaged communities, providing specialist ophthalmic surgery and care. Donate today and transform someone’s life by restoring their sight.
Al-Wahab Foundation is working across Pakistan to help restore sight and prevent blindness with your eye charity in disadvantaged communities. Our specialist teams work on the ground in rural areas where poverty is widespread and where healthcare is out of reach.
With your eye charity, Our eye cataract surgeries take place in regions where those who are most vulnerable can be treated and cared for. From our Eye Care Camps, we receive hundreds of referrals for those patients who require surgery.
Your donations for Cataract surgery pay for their transportation and food, specialist surgical equipment, hygiene measures, medications and after-care to restore and protect the health. From as little as £75, your generosity and compassion can have a life-changing affect for someone living with treatable blindness, bringing back their sight and their ability to live in hope and with independence.
“My name is Zafar and I am a father to five children. With ageing, I started to face serious eyesight issues to an extent that I had to leave my wok as a rickshaw driver. I was already struggling with fulfilling the expenses of looking after my family and so I could give no thought to how I may get my eyes checked or treated. A neighbour of mine told me about Al-Wahab Foundation’s free eye camps in our area. I went and was prescribed cataract surgery. With the generosity of donors, my eyesight recovered, and I am so thankful to Mufti Abdul Wahab and Al-Wahab Foundation for this amazing support.”
So far, your charity with generosity to our Eye Care appeal has meant we have been able to treat more than 200 people in Pakistan with free eye cataract surgery. The donations that you gave have enabled us to set up eye camps in remote areas to ensure those who are most in need can benefit from eye charity. Under free eye care camps, around 400 to 500 patients are examined and those who are advised for cataract surgeries are then further provided with a free cataract surgery facility.
Team Al-Wahab Foundation gives pick-and-drop facility to those surgery patients and provides them with hot meals. Recent flooding and increased poverty mean that many more people are unable to access healthcare and are in need of help. Al-Wahab Foundation is striving to serve new areas and reach new communities across Pakistan. Your donations for Cataract surgery can have a transformative affect on those suffering treatable eye conditions, allowing them to be able to return to work or education, providing and building for their families.
