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