Alfanar helped us develop a clear business plan and transform Inaash from an NGO into a social enterprise. This allowed us to increase our production capacity and start thinking like a sustainable business. Their support was enormous, from a technical perspective, financial perspective – Alfanar helped us grow like no one else.

What makes Alfanar special is their commitment to finding, training and scaling innovative social enterprises in the earlier stages of their development. These enterprises have bright leaders and bold ideas, but often struggle to find consistent funding and the support they need to grow their business. With Alfanar's support, we have seen the sustainable growth of social enterprises as they expand their impact on the communities they serve.

It’s very easy for NGOs to become donor-driven. With Alfanar's support, they were careful to make sure all of our activities served our core mission and provided support so we didn’t get derailed. Through funding, technical and mentorship support, and innovation for financial sustainability – Alfanar helped us believe we could become a viable social enterprise.

I like working with Alfanar because I know that all the funds being channeled are being managed diligently – in a way that ensures the maximum return on investment, which for us means the maximum number of lives impacted in the most meaningful way.
