We are pleased to announce that Al Mustafa Welfare Trust successfully conducted Free Eye Camps in two key locations of Bangladesh—Jaghnathpur, Sunamganj, and Salamotpur, Nabiganj, Habiganj. The motive behind the free camps was to provide necessary eye-care services and spread awareness about eye health, so everyone, regardless of their economic background, receives quality treatment.
The more important objective, however, was to mitigate the impact of cataract, one of the main causes of blindness. We rendered health care for those in dire need and facilitated people with cataract surgeries.
With your Sadaqah jariyah donations, it has been possible to provide free eye care. The campaign also gave people hope, brought back freedom, and improved many's lives by regaining lost vision through cataract surgeries.
Impact at a Glance!
Over the course of the two eye camps, over 600+ patients received free consultations, check-ups, and treatments.

Our Chairman, Mr. Abdulrazzaq Sajid, also visited the 2nd eye camp funded by Al Mustafa Welfare Trust at Hazari Community Centr. He met patients who had been living in darkness for years, some unable to see their loved ones, others struggling to work and provide for their families.
These are more than just numbers, each statistic reflects a life that has changed as a result of a donation for cataract surgery, and how your support has a real and long-lasting effect on the communities that were suffering.
Community Response & Gratitude!
The overwhelming response from the community was heartwarming. Many patients, particularly elderly individuals and daily wage earners, expressed their gratitude for the life-changing assistance. For many, this was their first-ever eye examination, and the impact on their daily lives was profound. The joy of an elder regaining the ability to read or a student being able to see the blackboard is beyond words.
Our dedicated volunteers and medical professionals worked diligently at both free camp venues to ensure every patient was treated with compassion and care. Receiving their smiles from them made every effort worthwhile.
Way Forward!
Building on success of these eye camps, we are committed to expanding reach and impact. We plan to organize more eye camps across Bangladeshi communities that require our services with a focus on delivering quality eye-care solutions. With continued support from donors like you, we aim to restore sight and improve lives locally and globally. What greater good can be done than to turn darkness into light and disability into freedom? Anyone can make a difference by donating Sadaqah Jariyah for cataract surgery. These donations support surgeries that restore vision and independence.
