Ambition
Aseel is responding to urgent humanitarian crisis using it’s Do Good platform. The platform champions what’s called Decentralized Aid, the ability to deploy aid using local markets and resources. It works like ubereats for aid delivery and and thus helps to combat the causes of flight.
Solution
The Aseel App has two major functions: do good and buy good. Do Good comprises of two important functions, mainly the Aseel Omid (Hope) ID Cards that is an identification tool (that helps to track people in case of in the event of natural disasters or war) and the Atalan (Heroes) Network that enables local youth to deliver aid using the Atalan app. The Aseel Do Good platform till date has supported over half a million people in the Afghanistan crisis and has also been deployed to respond to the earthquake in Turkey. The second approach is “buy good”, meaning that people can buy locally made crafts & so on directly through our platform.
