World Children’s Day with Gaza
Research shows 80% of what a child learns is vision-based, but some of those in Gaza are losing their childhood to poor vision and lack of eye care services.

Over the years, IMANA filled gaps for inadequate emergency services with critical hurricane relief work in North America and Asia. Our volunteers provided medical/humanitarian aid, and we airlifted emergency supplies to families impacted by the tropical storms. In addition, IMANA has worked hard to help those affected navigate a complex set of transitions in moving from acute emergency response to recovery in logistically challenging areas through our long-standing trusted relationships with government organizations and local community groups. And most importantly, all this is possible through your generous support.
It is with deep sadness that we share the news of Dr. Akhtar’s passing today in Pakistan. A visionary leader with a kind heart, Dr. Akhtar was instrumental in establishing IMANA in 1968. He served as the first president of the organization, then known as the Islamic Medical Association (IMA) and laid the foundation for its mission of promoting Islamic values within the medical community.
