25th Anniversary

Dear Friends,
Assalamu alykum- Peace and blessings be upon you.
As we mark the 25th anniversary of our eye care mission, we pause with deep gratitude to honor this remarkable journey. For a quarter century, our core team, dedicated volunteers, and generous donors have worked hard hand in hand to restore the Gift of Sight and bring hope to countless individuals and families including young children with eye cancer.
It all started with my deep inspiration from the founding President of Al-Shifa Trust Pakistan, late General Jahandad Khan grown into a movement – creating awareness and receiving amazing support in USA proving that compassion and commitment can change the world.
To our core team, thank you for your unwavering dedication, perseverance, and vision.
To our volunteers, thank you for giving your precious time, skills, and hearts so selflessly.
To our donors, thank you for your generosity and trust, which make every surgery, corneal transplant, every pair of glasses, and every moment of restored sight possible.

This milestone belongs to all of you. Together, we’ve not only restored vision but also opened doors to education, livelihoods, and dignity. As we look to the future, we remain committed to expanding our reach to support more free eye surgeries, corneal transplants, eye cancer treatment and surgical camps ensuring that no one is left in the darkness of preventable blindness.

With gratitude and hope, with my deepest gratitude and heartfelt Duas,

Tahir Zafar
President
Al- Shifa Foundation of North America

WHO WE ARE

The Al-Shifa Foundation of North America (AFNA) is a U.S.-registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to eliminating curable blindness and poor vision among underprivileged patients in Pakistan. AFNA proudly supports the eye care projects of the Al-Shifa Trust Eye Hospitals, which have delivered comprehensive, high-quality, and largely free eye care to the poor since 1991. The Trust's six state-of-the-art hospitals located in Rawalpindi, Sukkur, Kohat, Muzaffarabad and Chakwal along with over 12,000 outreach eye camps, have collectively treated over 31.6 million patients and performed more than 1 million surgeries (including cataract removal, laser procedures, and cornea transplants) for various diseases such as eye cancer, glaucoma, retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), and more, with over 80% of all patients receiving treatment entirely free of cost.

WHAT WE DO

Every day a child is enabled to see their mother for the first time – bringing joyful tears to all, vision is restored to jobless youths thus enabling them to become earning members of the family, and scores of elderly are helped to live their lives happily and independently.

At Al-Shifa, we help retrieve the colors of life! “Yes I can see,” this was the spontaneous response of Mutalli, who was recently restored vision after a successful operation at Al-Shifa Eye Trust Hospital. Please donate generously and make a difference in changing the lives of thousands of needy patients.
