"Alhamdulillah, she is now recovering."
In her son's words
"I came to know through a WhatsApp group that Al Mustafa Welfare Trust provides eye treatment. I don't have my own car. We live in a village near the Pak-Afghan border, and I travelled two hours from there to get my mother's eyes treated.
The treatment here is very good. They do the check-up and treatment for free, and if an operation is needed, there is no charge for that either. My mother had her cataract surgery at 3 o'clock and, Alhamdulillah, she is now recovering.
I am very grateful to Al Mustafa Welfare Trust. They are helping the poor, and I thank them so much."
Her smile after surgery says more than any words could. A mother who had begun to lose sight of her family now has the chance to see them clearly again.
Why this work cannot stop
Cataracts are one of the most treatable causes of blindness. A short operation can restore sight for years to come. Yet for families living far from specialist care, distance and cost keep that treatment out of reach.
Since 2010, Al Mustafa Welfare Trust has carried out over 278,112 cataract surgeries for people in need. From our specialist eye hospitals in Pakistan to our free eye camps in remote villages, every operation is made possible by supporters who will never meet the people they help.
Give the gift of sight
Restoring someone's sight can be a meaningful form of Sadaqah Jariyah. Each surgery you fund helps a person regain their independence, care for their family and live with dignity. Give Sadaqah Jariyah today and help someone like this mother see her loved ones again.

Somewhere, a son is waiting for his mother to see his face again. You can be the reason she does.
