Millions Are Living Without Sight! But You Can Help

Losing your sight can start slowly. Faces become harder to see. Reading the Quran takes more effort. Over time, simple things like walking or cooking become a struggle.

More than 2.2 billion people around the world live with some form of vision loss or blindness. Around 75% of blindness can be prevented or treated, but many people cannot afford the care they need. Cataracts are one of the main causes of blindness. The good news is that a short, 45-minute operation can often fix them completely.

Since 2010, Al Mustafa Welfare Trust has carried out 278,112 free cataract surgeries, helping people see their loved ones again, go back to work, and live with dignity.

One Surgery Changed Her Life Forever

Leyla, a grandmother from rural Africa, had been losing her sight for years. She could hear her grandchildren playing around her, but she could no longer see their faces. She needed help to walk, cook, and even get dressed.

Over time, she stopped going out. She felt like a burden on her family. Her world became smaller and darker.

Then, thanks to your support, Layla received a free cataract operation through Al Mustafa Welfare Trust.

The surgery took less than an hour, but the change it brought was life-changing. Layla could see her grandchildren's faces again. She could move around her home safely. She could read the Qur'an once more. Her smile came back.

"I thought I would never see again. When I opened my eyes after the surgery and saw my grandson's face, I cried with joy. Allah has given me a second chance through your kindness."

Layla, cataract surgery beneficiary, Africa

Layla's story is not rare. Thousands of people just like her are waiting for the same chance.
