Decentralized Aid

Putting the community at the forefront of responding to humanitarian crisis while enabling anyone in the world to support them.

Born Out of Crisis

Decentralized Aid delivers localization beyond the tagline by providing the fundraising, identification, local market access and delivery.

In August 2021, as international organizations evacuated, Aseel pivoted its marketplace for artisans into a humanitarian platform. Using our fintech and logistics backbone, we launched Do Good, delivering food, medical aid, and warmth when no one else could.
