START

You can track a burrito from the restaurant to your door in real time

You donate to a family in a crisis zone. Usually you get a thank-you email. That's where it ends.

Nasrat Khalid couldn't understand why.

We expect complete visibility when we order dinner.
Why not when we're helping another human being?

So he built Aseel. 
A platform for "everything do good"

You buy a food package. 
You see exactly who receives it. 
You can ask for a photo of the delivery.
You can exchange messages with the recipients, if they choose to participate.

Instead of donating into a system and hoping, you know the aid reached the person who needed it.

That's the whole idea. No plane ticket. No project. No abstraction.

"Award-winning US-based platform connecting artisans to global markets and enabling transparent aid"
