Fabric AID

FabricAID is a Lebanese social enterprise founded in 2017, dedicated to creating a socially and environmentally conscious value chain in the apparel industry. The company collects, sorts, and redistributes second-hand clothing to marginalised communities at affordable prices, promoting sustainable fashion and reducing fabric waste.

Achievements

Since 2018, FabricAID scaled rapidly with the support of Alfanar’s grant, equity, and convertible loan financing, alongside management assistance. The enterprise grew from a team of 9 to over 100, expanding its client base from 1,088 to over 139,000, becoming the largest second-hand clothing collector in the Arab region. Alfanar’s support focused on improving operational efficiency, expanding partnerships, and enabling key opportunities, including FabricAID’s appearance on Bahrain’s Beban Show in 2024, where the company secured an additional $350,000 investment. Alfanar continues to assist with preparing FabricAID for expansion, with a focus on social impact and upcycling.
