Aseel's Impact as a Digital Platform
Till now, the Aseel Platform has already made a significant impact in developing communities. Aseel Buy Good has registered more than 200 artisan shops, with this number going up to 5000 in terms of supporting artisans in Afghanistan and Turkey, and sold over 10,000 products to global customers.
Aseel Do Good has helped over 543,000 individuals in Afghanistan and Turkey by distributing different packages that include food, wood, heater, baby care, first aid, and life packages to people in urgent need of assistance. We are committed to expanding our mission to more underdeveloped communities worldwide. In this blog post, we'll dive deeper into how Aseel achieves its goals and how you can get involved in helping the company make an even bigger impact.
Buy Good: Aseel is allowing artisans and handmade businesses in underdeveloped/developing countries to get connected with the global handmade market. We enable artisans/vendors to get access to Aseel's established supply chain, sell handmade products, and get paid for the sold products through Aseel's fin-tech system.
Just like other e-commerce platforms, Aseel enables customers that are interested in handmade products to buy products directly from artisans in Afghanistan and Turkey, and get them delivered to their doorstep. Your purchase will help put a direct impact on the life of an artisan, as they are going to be paid for the sold product at the price they asked for. It helps to grow their business and help other artisans to be a part of their business and create more jobs.
Frozan Siddiqe, the Founder of Nil Arts, who recently registered her handicraft business with Aseel, shares how the Aseel platform has impacted her business in a positive way: “I used to be part of a group of local artisans in Afghanistan, working tirelessly on our handicrafts with little success in terms of sales. People in Afghanistan weren't interested in handmade products, and there seemed to be no way for us to export our crafts to potential customers outside the country.
It was disheartening to see my fellow artisans losing interest in the work they loved, thinking that no one cared about what they were making. One day, out of the blue, an Aseel team member reached out to me through Instagram and introduced me to their platform, which promised to connect us to customers around the world. They helped me get my business registered on Aseel, and soon my products were photographed and added to my shop on their website. I contacted the Aseel marketing team for free advertising, and before long, we started receiving orders from customers all over the world. Thanks to the Aseel media team, who created videos and stories about my business and added them to my shop, I now have a standard online store that I work on every day to improve and enhance the user experience.
Aseel has given me access to my business's seller portal, which has been a game-changer in terms of managing my business and keeping track of sales. Looking to the future, I believe that Nil Arts will be one of the most successful handicraft businesses in Afghanistan, and I know that working with Aseel will continue to be a crucial part of that journey. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to the entire Aseel team for their hard work and the contributions they make to support artisans like us."
Do Good: Aseel Do Good is the most reliable and pioneering platform working to fight the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan and Turkey. It allows anyone who wants to assist directly Afghan families in need to Purchase Emergency Packages, Sponsor a Family, Start a Campaign, and Become a Volunteer. In addition, we partner with organizations that help us provide vulnerable families and individuals with basic food and shelter items. Hence, supporting them to build a brighter and more sustainable tomorrow for themselves. Now, let's dive deeper into how each of these ways is making an impact.
- Purchase an Emergency package: There are several kinds of emergency packages available on the Aseel Platform for different people. You can select one of them and donate it as follows:
- -Let Aseel Decide: Our Atalan (Volunteers) are conducting surveys in every province of Afghanistan to identify needy people. Your "Donate and Let Aseel Decide" aid will be delivered to our list of verified needy people in 24 hours in Kabul and within 48 hours in other provinces.
- -Someone you know: Through the Aseel Platform, you can send direct aid to a family or individual you know. You can register the beneficiary by creating an Omid ID for them using this form, and we will deliver your aid to the beneficiary in 24 hours in Kabul and within 48 hours in other provinces.
- Contribute to Emergency campaigns: We have campaigns for different categories, such as Women, Children, Students, Emergency Responses, and Seasonal Challenges. You can choose your cause, contribute to the campaign, and be a part of the impact we make. Anyone can start a fundraiser campaign, and once the campaign is announced, we wait for the targeted time and funds. When that is completed, we deliver the aid to the targeted beneficiaries and do a bulk distribution.
- Start your own campaign: With Aseel, you can create a fundraiser campaign to help people who need urgent help. The process is simple: explain your targeted beneficiary and the cause they need help with, set the campaign target, and submit the form. Once the campaign target is fulfilled, we will deliver aid to the targeted beneficiaries. If there are no targeted beneficiaries, our Atalan members will conduct surveys to find needy people for distribution, and we will report back to you.
- Become a volunteer: Aseel Emergency Response is a people-run initiative, which means anyone from anywhere in the world can work with us to respond to emergency situations in Afghanistan and Turkey. You can easily fill out this form and start volunteering with us. As an Aseel volunteer, we will ask you to conduct surveys to find needy people and raise awareness about Aseel in whatever way you can.
