Alfanar, the Arab region’s first venture philanthropy organisation, is excited to announce a new cultural partnership with Azza Fahmy, a luxury jewellery house renowned for preserving craftsmanship and celebrating Arab heritage. This collaboration marks a shared commitment to championing heritage, expanding economic opportunity, and driving sustainable social change in the Arab region.

A longstanding supporter of Alfanar’s investment in Arab social entrepreneurs, Azza Fahmy has demonstrated its dedication to social responsibility – advancing cultural preservation and expanding economic opportunity for artisans through training and employment pathways.

Together, Alfanar and Azza Fahmy will amplify the impact of social enterprises within Alfanar’s Egypt portfolio that are creating employment and preserving the region’s rich cultural heritage. To date, Alfanar has helped over 200 social enterprises grow their financial sustainability and impact – including creative ventures Inaash, L’Artisan Du Liban, and Malaika.

"Azza Fahmy’s legacy of craftsmanship, cultural preservation, and women’s empowerment aligns with our mission to build a thriving impact economy in the Arab World. We are thrilled to be joining forces to support the next generation of creative and social entrepreneurs," said Safia Tmiri, Executive Director of Alfanar.

"At Azza Fahmy, our heritage is deeply rooted in storytelling, craftsmanship, and cultural preservation—values that resonate with Alfanar’s commitment to creating lasting social impact. We’re honored to partner with them for our London opening, with proceeds from this collaboration supporting their mission to drive positive change across the Arab region," stated Fatma Ghaly, CEO of Azza Fahmy Jewellery.

Together, Alfanar and Azza Fahmy are committed to fostering a future where social entrepreneurs can thrive – unlocking new opportunities for economic and cultural advancement across the region.
