Zoomaal is the Arab world’s leading crowdfunding platform. Joining the dots between creativity, campaigns, missions & more to solve social issues and regional problems by supporting the creative and cultural economies within emerging markets. Launched by the serial entrepreneur and change-maker Abdallah Al Absi in 2013, Zoomaal has enabled change makers to deliver social activities that contribute to their communities from building educational projects, to launching award-winning albums and funding children’s workshops that combat social isolation. The Zoomaal community across the globe has raised over $2 million + for projects they care about, helping project owners to create jobs and contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goals from unemployment to gender equality, economic growth and well-being. Our Manifesto: We believe in the ‘we’. We believe that change happens when you enable, empower and foster creativity. We believe in joining dots & rallying a tribe, in sharing creative ideas & spreading them. We believe that social issues & global challenges from unemployment to climate change, poverty to self-harm will not go away with wishful thinking. We believe that it is artists, toy makers, musicians, filmmakers and Arab creatives who contribute to the economy, create jobs, and change the narrative. We believe that when campaigns, creativity, missions and endeavors are created by people & powered by the crowd good things happen. We believe that opportunities to build & create without limits or borders are a universal right, not a privilege. We trust that people do the best they can do with the resources they have & at the heart of every movement beats loudly and proudly in a crowd. We believe everyone can contribute, and that support is not limited to donations & money. We are a sustainable social enterprise on a mission to support and enable a new generation of content creators, makers and doers in the Middle East and Africa. Zoomaal is the leading crowdfunding platform in the Arab world.
