Alfanar is the Arab region's first venture philanthropy organisation. Its aim is to strengthen ambitious social enterprises that generate financial and social returns while transforming lives in the region's poorest communities.
It offers tailored financing, management support and real-time monitoring & evaluation to social enterprises working to improve the quality of children's education and empower women, youth and refugees across the Arab region.
Since 2004, we have supported over 185 social enterprises across the region to grow their impact on disadvantaged communities by 37% and directly impact over 400,000 lives. On average, our social enterprises in 2023 recovered 66% of their costs through self-generated means.
