About Us

See Clearly. Live Fully.

We believe everyone deserves access to the care they need to see clearly, live safely, and pursue opportunity with dignity.

In Qatar, many domestic workers and foreign laborers struggle with the high cost of prescription glasses, leaving their basic vision needs unmet. This initiative exists to change that. By providing free or affordable eyewear to underserved minority communities, we’re helping them see clearly, work safely, and live with dignity.

Our Founder

Naraa was founded by Fatima, a high school student passionate about healthcare, research, and community service. After witnessing the challenges faced by domestic workers and foreign laborers in Qatar, she wanted to create an initiative that addressed a basic but often overlooked need: access to clear vision.
What began with a focus on affordable eyewear is growing into a broader commitment to health awareness, accessible healthcare education, and research into the needs of underserved communities.

I’ve seen how often people are overlooked. Naraa is my way of making sure they’re not. It’s not just about helping people see, but helping them be seen with dignity and opportunity. This is about showing up for the people who keep our communities alive.

Equity

We believe that access to health care is a right, not a privilege, and we work to close the gap for underserved communities.

Compassion

We approach every person with empathy, respect, and a genuine commitment to improving their quality of life.

Community

We listen to, learn from, and collaborate with the communities we serve to create lasting and meaningful impact.

Integrity

We hold ourselves accountable to being transparent, reliable, and consistent in our mission and actions.

Vision

We envision a future where every person in Qatar, regardless of background or income, can access the healthcare resources they need to live a healthy, safe, and dignified life.
As Naraa grows, we hope to expand beyond eyewear to promote accessible healthcare knowledge, support community-driven research, and build partnerships that address overlooked health needs.

Mission

Naraa’s mission is to improve access to vision care and promote health equity among underserved communities in Qatar. We provide free or affordable prescription glasses while raising health awareness, expanding access to reliable healthcare knowledge, building community partnerships, and creating opportunities for research into overlooked healthcare needs. Through these efforts, we aim to empower individuals, strengthen communities, and help ensure that access to essential healthcare is not limited by income or circumstance.

More than just seeing clearly

At Naraa, we believe vision is about more than eyesight.
It is about being able to work safely, learn confidently, navigate everyday life, and pursue opportunities that might otherwise feel out of reach. A pair of glasses may seem simple, but access to something so basic can make a meaningful difference in a person’s independence and quality of life. Our work starts with vision, but our goal is empowerment.
