Mission
Alfanar is a non-profit organisation that provides financial support and expert advice to organisations that are working to improve the lives of people in the Arab world.
Activities
Alfanar supports organisations, and the people within them, whose creative ideas address entrenched problems. Its partners, who may be start up or more established organisations, take enduring and entrepreneurial approaches to assisting the communities they serve to access rights and opportunities. They work on issues which include reducing poverty, improving the quality of education, widening access to health care, and assisting individuals to access their social, economic and human rights, and are committed to self-reliance and enterprise, finding diverse ways to generate income.
Building long-term partnerships on the ground, Alfanar provides them with a combination of financial support, advice and expertise to achieve their aims and to develop the confidence and skills needed to secure a wide range of funds.
Alfanar currently works with partners in Egypt through an established office there.
For individual donors
Contact the Egypt office or the London office; they are happy to talk about possibilities for donors to fund specific projects or to visit projects.
