Aseel finances its activities primarily through a combination of revenue streams, which are generated without making the artisans pay for our services directly. Our business model is designed to provide a sustainable and fair platform for artisans while still covering our operational costs. 1. Platform Fee 2. Administrative and Processing Fee 3. Tipping Aseel By implementing these revenue streams, Aseel can maintain its operations, support artisans, and continue to provide a valuable platform without placing the burden of service fees on the artisans themselves. We believe in a fair and sustainable approach that benefits both our customers and the talented artisans we work with.

By the fall of the Afghan government in mid-August 2021, in response to the humanitarian crisis and natural disasters faced by Afghans, Aseel introduced the Aseel Do Good - DirectAid beta. This initiative enabled everyone to extend support by donating emergency packages to thousands of affected individuals and families. While this humanitarian effort was underway, Aseel Buy Good, our leading platform, continued to operate seamlessly. Remarkably, it remained a vital source of income for many artisans, particularly empowering women artisans, even as Aseel Do Good was being established.

The artisan business at Aseel has been thriving significantly. To date, we have successfully onboarded over 5500 artisans from Afghanistan and Turkey, the two countries where our platform is currently operating.

The impact of our artisans' craftsmanship has reverberated globally, capturing the interest of more than 900 buyers worldwide.
