Reclaim Gift Aid

Gift Aid It!Add 25% more to your donation at no cost to you. A Gift Aid declaration allows Al Basar International Foundation to claim tax back on eligible donations. It means that for every £1 you donate to Al Basar International Foundation we can claim back 25p, at no extra cost to you.

By ticking the "Yes" box, I agree I would like Al Basar International Foundation to reclaim the tax on all qualifying donations I have made, as well as any future donations, until I notify them otherwise. I understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year I may be asked to pay any difference. I understand that Al Basar International Foundation will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that I give.

What is Gift Aid?

Gift Aid does not cost you a penny more, but can add an additional 25p to every £1 you donate. When Al Basar International Foundation receives a donation from a UK taxpayer, we're entitled to claim an amount of tax (calculated at the basic rate of income tax in that year) paid on that donation. Once you have given your permission for us to do this on your behalf, there is no need for you to do anything else.

All that is required is that you must be a taxpayer and that would have paid or will pay sufficient Income and/or Capital Gains Tax to cover all the Gift Aid claimed on all your donations in that tax year. Please note that it is your responsibility to pay any difference.

The amount of tax we claim will be 25% of the total value of your donations in that tax year. Furthermore, if you are a higher taxpayer, you are also entitled to claim the difference between the basic rate which we will claim and the amount of tax you have actually paid. For further details on how you can do this, please contact your tax office. If your tax situation changes and your gifts will no longer be eligible for the Gift Aid scheme please contact us and we will amend your record accordingly.

Transforming Lives Through Sight:

Help Build, Renovate, and Equip Rural Hospitals

Access to quality eye care remains a distant dream for millions across the globe. In rural communities especially, individuals face numerous barriers to receiving the treatment they so urgently require. From limited availability of services and the high cost of care to deep-rooted social inequalities, these challenges often combine to form insurmountable obstacles for those most in need.

Women, in particular, bear the brunt of these hardships. Gender disparities, coupled with poverty and lack of resources, mean that many are left untreated—despite suffering from preventable or curable conditions. The ability to see is not simply a matter of health; it is a pathway to education, employment, and independence. When that is taken away, entire lives and communities are affected.

At Al Basar International Foundation, we are working to change this reality. Our mission is to bring light to lives clouded by darkness, by building, renovating, and equipping eye hospitals in underserved areas. With a firm commitment to making eye care accessible and affordable, we have already established 29 hospitals across Africa and Asia—each serving as a beacon of hope for those living without sight.

These hospitals are not just medical facilities—they are lifelines. Staffed by dedicated professionals and equipped with modern tools and technologies, they offer a full range of eye care services, from basic check-ups to complex surgeries. More importantly, they bring these services closer to those who would otherwise have to travel great distances or go without care altogether.

However, our work is far from done.

Millions still await their chance to see. Villages remain without clinics. Old hospitals cry out for renovation. Essential equipment is lacking in too many places. That’s where you come in.

Your support can help us continue this vital work. By contributing to the building, refurbishment, and equipping of rural hospitals, you can be part of a movement that restores not just sight, but also dignity and opportunity. Every hospital we build, every eye we treat, changes a life—and by extension, strengthens a community.

Together, we can ensure that no one is left behind simply because of where they were born or how much money they have.

Help us bring quality eye care to those who need it most. Help us restore sight and transform lives.
