Quick answer

US, Canadian and other international donors can give in US dollars here: $300 funds one complete cataract operation at a partner hospital in Pakistan, Indonesia or Malaysia. World Aid Network is a UK CIO, not a US 501(c)(3) and not a registered Canadian charity, so gifts are generally not tax-deductible in those countries.

## How do you give now and pay in USD?

This page is for US-dollar giving from the United States, Canada or anywhere. You can switch currency on the form if needed.

## Can donors in the US or Canada give in dollars?

### Can I donate from the US or Canada?

Yes — we accept USD via Stripe (Visa, Mastercard, Amex). Your card is charged in US dollars. World Aid Network is a UK Charitable Incorporated Organisation with charity registration in progress with the Charity Commission for England and Wales. Canadian donors can also give in pounds at /donate.

### Is my donation tax-deductible in the US or Canada?

Generally no. World Aid Network is a UK Charitable Incorporated Organisation (registration in progress), not a US 501(c)(3) and not a registered Canadian charity, so donors normally cannot claim a US federal income-tax deduction or a CRA charitable tax credit. If tax relief matters to you, consult a local tax adviser before giving. Some US donors use a Donor Advised Fund whose sponsor is a US 501(c)(3). We will publish any future fiscal-sponsorship arrangement on this page.

### How quickly does my donation reach those in need?

Donations are processed immediately via Stripe. Funds are disbursed to our locally-licensed partner organisations on a quarterly basis, with each disbursement tied to a specific patient list or emergency relief report. Accounts are filed publicly with the Charity Commission.

### How do I know the money reaches the patient?

World Aid Network works exclusively through locally-licensed partner organisations and surgeons (PMDC in Pakistan, KKI in Indonesia, MMC in Malaysia). Accounts are filed publicly with the Charity Commission. We do not run overseas teams.
