AL BASAR USA maintains high standards of performance in everything we do :
Eradicating eye disease throughout the developing world in a sustainable, long term and comprehensive manner
The mission of AL BASAR USA is to provide eye treatment camps, facilities and training to prevent blindness and restore sight for communities of low and middle income countries throughout Asia and Africa.
AL BASAR USA is at the forefront of the fight against preventable blindness. We believe that the gift of sight is priceless, and we’re committed to delivering comprehensive eye care services to the most vulnerable communities in Asia and Africa. Here is how we’re changing lives:
For those who donate to the cause of fighting blindness and would like to know where and how their donations are spent, we at AL BASAR USA strive to direct 93-94% of your donations directly towards the payment of eye care camp services, provided free of cost to the recipients. Once the money is raised ($100,000 to $150,000 per eye care camp), AL BASAR USA negotiates a project execution plan with the implementing team. The wheels start turning very quickly as soon as the fundraising goal for a camp is achieved. Here are the expense areas where funds are directed:
The AL BASAR USA Board of Director/s is on-site directly providing management support to see firsthand the execution phase of the eye care camp. Their experiences become the basis for the next camp in line with the Continuous Improvement (CI) philosophy.
The cycle continues to the next camp at another remote location, region, or country.
Through our numerous eye care camps and community outreach programs, we provide comprehensive eye examinations. These screenings help us identify and diagnose various eye conditions, from minor refractive errors to severe eye diseases.
Visual impairment often results from uncorrected refractive errors. We distribute free prescription eyeglasses to individuals in need, helping them see clearly and improving their quality of life.
Cataracts remain a leading cause of blindness globally. AL BASAR USA medical team, equipped with state-of-the-art surgical equipment, conducts free cataract and other corrective surgeries to restore sight.
Our commitment doesn't end with surgery. We also ensure comprehensive post-surgery care, including medication and follow-up appointments, to monitor recovery and ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients.
Education and prevention are key to reducing the prevalence of blindness. Our team educates communities about common eye diseases, prevention, and early detection. We're committed to raising awareness and promoting eye health.

We strive to reach the unreached, venturing into the heart of underserved regions of Asia and Africa with our eye camps. These camps offer a wide range of services, including eye screening, treatment, distribution of medication and eye-glasses and cataract and corrective surgeries. It's here that our mission takes shape.
Join us on this noble mission and contribute to a world where everyone can enjoy the gift of sight.
Every dollar donated brings us one step closer to our goal of universal eye care accessibility. By providing comprehensive eye care, from screening to surgical procedures, your generous contribution can transform lives.
We estimate a $100 donation pays for 1 cataract surgery, 3 pairs of vision correcting lenses and 10 eye examinations.
Our costs of eye care are extremely competitive mainly due to paid, donated/volunteer medical resources, supplies,
medicines and over 30 years of experience in running eye
care camps in Africa and Asia.
Join our mission and make a tangible difference. Whether you’re contributing through donations, volunteering your time, or spreading awareness, there’s a place for you in our family. Let’s create a world where vision is a right, not a privilege.
