## Eye surgery and eye care

Read about [cataract surgery funding](https://zakat-calculator.org.uk/causes/eye-surgery) and the [current parent-site programme](https://worldaidnetwork.org/eye-surgery). Contributions support care according to the programme’s terms and patient needs. Costs are estimates, not guaranteed outcomes.

## Cancer care

The [cancer treatment page](https://zakat-calculator.org.uk/causes/cancer-treatment) explains the donor questions to ask. For the latest scope and appeals, visit [World Aid Network’s cancer programme](https://worldaidnetwork.org/cancer).

## Religious payment types

Zakat, Sadaqah, Fitrana, fidya and kaffarah are not interchangeable. Confirm that the programme can fulfil the requirements of your intended payment. In particular, general medical support is not automatically a feeding obligation.

## Check before giving

Review the [donation policy](https://zakat-calculator.org.uk/100-percent-policy), current registration information and the recipient process. Use the [free calculator](https://zakat-calculator.org.uk/zakat-calculator) if you still need to estimate your annual wealth Zakat.
