DEMAC is pleased to share a grant opportunity by Aseel Technology, a tech for good platform, established by the Afghan Diaspora.

Aseel Technology featured in TechCrunch, NPR, TIME, BBC, PBS and more, is offering a limited amount of grants for $250,000 worth of support services to use their newly launched Aid Operating System (AidOS) to selected non profits and NGOS, which enables fundraising and direct aid distribution. 

Since 2021, Aseel has directly supported more than 600,000 people with emergency food, winter support, hygiene kits, and more — even in hard-to-reach areas across Afghanistan and Turkiye. Through its AidOS platform, Aseel digitized the entire humanitarian supply chain — from fundraising and vendor management to real-time distribution tracking. And through its Buy Good marketplace, it enabled hundreds of artisans to sell handmade products globally.

Trusted by groups like USAID, Save the Children, Humaniti, Vitol Foundation, and DEMAC, Aseel has demonstrated its ability to deliver high-impact, tech-enabled humanitarian and development solutions.
