The spirit of Eid is giving. In the Islamic tradition, charity — sadaqah — is not just a financial act but an expression of gratitude, community, and connection with those who have less. A gift to someone you love that simultaneously funds a life-saving intervention for someone who has nothing is, we think, one of the most meaningful things you can give.
Every gift in World Aid Network's virtual shop is a specific, costed programme line. When you give Cataract Surgery for Eid, you are not making a vague donation — you are funding one 30-minute operation that restores full sight to one adult patient who would otherwise live the rest of their life in preventable blindness.
At checkout, you can add a personal message and send the gift in someone's name. Your recipient receives a notification in time for Eid, explaining exactly what was funded on their behalf. It costs from £10.
