Founder’s Message

I am proud to see Al Bassar Association growing and expanding its impact. Our mission has always been clear: to ensure that no one in Morocco loses their sight simply because they lack the means to treat it. Today, thanks to our dedicated medical teams and our supporters, we continue to bring light and hope to the most remote regions of our Kingdom.
Founder of Al Bassar Association.

Our Vision
In Morocco, sight is not a privilege, it is a right.

Our Mission

To fight avoidable blindness in Morocco by providing high-quality surgical care, free of charge, to underprivileged populations. We work every day to restore independence and dignity to those who thought they had lost their sight forever.

Al Bassar Association works against avoidable blindness in Morocco by providing free surgical care, strengthening local medical capacities, and mobilizing volunteers across the Kingdom.

In Morocco, tens of thousands of people suffer from severe visual impairment, many of whom are affected by cataracts—the leading cause of blindness in the country. The risk of losing sight is significantly higher in rural areas and underprivileged communities, where access to care remains insufficient or even non-existent. Without organized collective action, demographic growth and an aging population will place an even heavier burden on the most vulnerable families.

Founded in Casablanca in 2008, with headquarters at 15 Rue Cadi Iyyas, Al Bassar Association was established specifically to prevent this scenario—because solutions exist, they are accessible, and they change lives in less than thirty minutes. We focus our actions on the most disadvantaged Moroccan populations, too often left on the margins of the healthcare system, by guaranteeing them access to comprehensive, free, and high-quality eye care.
