Eid Mubarak

Dear Friends, Sponsors, Donors & Supporters,

On this joyous occasion of Eid, we pause with sincere gratitude to thank our generous sponsors, donors, volunteers, and well-wishers who continue to support AFNA’s mission of restoring sight and transforming lives.
Because of your compassion and unwavering support, countless patients in Pakistan have received free eye surgeries, corneal transplants, medical treatments, and the precious gift of vision. Your kindness has brought hope to children, comfort to families, and renewed independence to many elderly individuals suffering from preventable blindness.
Eid is a reminder that the greatest blessings are those we share with others. Every prayer, donation, and act of generosity strengthens our mission and allows us to continue serving those who cannot afford essential eye care.
To our dedicated volunteers and supporters, thank you for standing beside us with sincerity, commitment, and care. Your efforts continue to inspire hope and make a lasting difference in the lives of those living in darkness.
As we celebrate with our families and loved ones, let us remember those still waiting for the blessing of sight and healing. Together, with faith and compassion, we can continue lighting the path toward a brighter future for so many in need.

May Allah bless you and your family with peace, happiness, prosperity, and good health. May this Eid bring endless joy and countless blessings to your home.

With heartfelt gratitude and warmest Eid wishes,

Tahir Zafar

Give someone the Gift of Sight​

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 32 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 90% 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.
