FAQs
Common Questions
Which regions does Al Basar operate in?
Al Basar International Foundation works across Africa, Asia and the Middle East, helping communities where access to eye care is limited. Through our eye hospitals, outreach programmes, school screening initiatives and specialist eye care missions, we work to prevent avoidable blindness and improve access to treatment.
How are patients selected for free treatment?
Free treatment is intended for people who need eye care but cannot afford the treatment they require. Patients are assessed according to their medical needs, and our medical teams determine the most appropriate care. The services available depend on the programme and the facilities in place.
What eye conditions does Al Basar treat?
Al Basar supports the prevention and treatment of a wide range of eye conditions. These include cataracts, glaucoma, retinal diseases, trachoma related complications, squint and other complex eye conditions. Our work also includes vision screening, spectacles, low vision assessment and specialist eye care services. The treatments available vary by location and programme.
How does Al Basar reach underserved communities?
We deliver eye care services through our hospitals, outreach programmes and partnerships with local healthcare providers. These activities help reach communities with limited access to eye care, identify people who need treatment and connect patients with appropriate services, including specialist care where available.
Can I set up a recurring donation?
Yes. You can set up a monthly donation to support Al Basar’s work throughout the year. Regular giving helps us plan our programmes and continue providing eye care services to people who need them but cannot afford treatment. Every contribution helps us work towards a world where avoidable blindness can be prevented.
How can I support Al Basar?
You can support our work by making a one off or monthly donation, fundraising for our campaigns or exploring a partnership with Al Basar International Foundation.

How are Zakat and charity funds allocated?
Our Zakat funds strictly follow Islamic principles and are allocated 100% to patient care, directly funding surgeries, medications, and treatments for those most in need. We maintain complete transparency and clear reporting for all charitable donations.
How can my organization partner with you to host a camp?
Partnership inquiries should be routed through our International Partnerships team. We collaborate closely with local NGOs, health ministries, and international agencies to plan, fund, and execute eye camps in mutually agreed-upon locations.
Are Al Basar training programs open to local students?
