# How Far Does Your Donation Go? 

Every pound donated to World Aid Network is tracked to a specific clinical outcome. Here is exactly what each amount funds — from a single surgical component to a complete treatment pathway. 

How World Aid Network tracks your donation

At World Aid Network, £200 funds one complete sight-restoring cataract operation — pre-op assessment, surgeon, intraocular lens, consumables, anaesthesia and follow-up care. Smaller gifts from £10 fund surgical supplies within that pathway at accredited partner hospitals in Pakistan, Indonesia and Malaysia. 

All donations are held in a restricted fund and disbursed exclusively within World Aid Network's two registered charitable objects: sight-restoring eye surgery and cancer treatment for poor patients, and emergency relief for disaster-affected families in **Pakistan, Indonesia and Malaysia**. Payments go directly to accredited partner hospitals via milestone bank transfer — never to individuals.

| £50      | Full set of surgical consumables for one cataract operation (drapes, irrigation, phaco tip, post-op medication)   |

## What does your donation fund for cancer treatment?

Breast cancer treatment involves multiple stages — each requires separate funding. Early detection through diagnostic imaging is the most cost-effective intervention.

| Donation | What it funds in the cancer treatment programme                                                         |
| -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| £30      | Diagnostic breast ultrasound assessment for one patient referred from a screening camp                  |
| £75      | Core needle biopsy and pathology report — confirming diagnosis and cancer type to plan treatment        |
| £150     | Supportive care medications for one chemotherapy cycle (anti-emetics, pain relief)                      |
| £300     | Two diagnostic assessments and a biopsy — early detection for three patients                            |
| £500     | Towards breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy) for one patient                                          |
| £1,000   | A full chemotherapy course (multiple cycles) for one patient who cannot afford private treatment        |
| £2,000   | The complete treatment pathway — imaging, biopsy, surgery, chemotherapy and follow-up — for one patient |

Costs are approximate based on partner-hospital data in Pakistan. The cancer programme is expanding; figures will be updated as the programme extends to Indonesia and Malaysia.

## What does your donation fund for emergency relief?

Emergency relief is activated when a natural disaster is declared by an official agency — NDMA (Pakistan), BNPB (Indonesia) or NADMA (Malaysia). Relief is delivered through trusted local partner organisations, not by World Aid Network staff overseas.

Relief is scoped exclusively to disaster-affected families: food, water, emergency shelter, seasonal items. Only in Pakistan, Indonesia and Malaysia.

| Donation | What it funds in the emergency relief programme                                                |
| -------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| £25      | Emergency food supplies for one family for two weeks following a natural disaster              |
| £50      | Emergency shelter supplies — tarpaulin, rope and fixings — for one displaced family            |
| £75      | Winter warmth pack for one family: blankets, warm clothing and basic cooking supplies          |
| £100     | Emergency food, shelter and hygiene supplies for one disaster-displaced family                 |
| £250     | One week of emergency support for five families following a flood or earthquake                |
| £500     | Emergency food and shelter for ten families in the first 72 hours after a disaster declaration |
| £1,000   | Comprehensive emergency relief for twenty families — food, shelter, hygiene and winterisation  |

Emergency relief costs are approximate. Actual costs vary by disaster type, location and timing of deployment.

World Aid Network operates on a strict no-cash, milestone-funding model. No money is released until a trustee-approved patient list or relief plan is in place. All payments go directly to accredited partner organisations. Outcome reports are required before any subsequent release.
