Working with Child's Cup Full, a Palestinian-owned social enterprise, I supported their team with building operational and fundraising foundations. I spent 6 months understanding their existing systems, strategy and materials and then identified funding opportunities, drafted applications, and built a bank of resources the team could draw on long after the engagement.. Alongside the fundraising work, I worked with their team to define their 2025 objectives and key results.

• Operationalised Zebras Unite, a hybrid entity, part non-profit, part co-operative catalysing community, culture and capital for social good businesses.

• Developed policies, protocols, processes, personnel resources and managed the operational and financial stability of the hybrid entity. • Inspired by the principles of Zakat, designed the Zebra Solidarity Fund, a morally obligated Islamic practice that dissuades hoarding to redistribute wealth and eradicate poverty. Zebras Unite Co-op set aside 2.5% of all gross revenues for a Zebra Solidarity Fund for its co-op members. This fund was used to offer financial assistance, advance projects centred on economic justice, underwrite scholarships and experiments serving the solidarity economy. • Helped launch the Exit to Community zine , a 75-page booklet written by a group of collaborators and co-authors to explore business “exits” that centre their communities in these transactions. We co-facilitated the cohort that helped 15+ companies advance their exit to community strategies. • As the partnership lead, I contributed to Beloved Economies supernova strategy - a collaborative research and narrative-change initiative aimed at awakening popular audiences in the United States to the power we have to build economies that work for all, specifically through reimagining and repairing how we work. • Closed 50+ global partners from the cooperative and alternative business community to generate additional revenue for the ZU co-operative and expand our reach • Tooled Zebras Unite Capital - a subsidiary of Zebras Unite's non-profit and for-profit arm focused on mobilising alternative capital for our members

  Launched one of the first international chapters of Zebras Unite and built a community of 200+ members in London, produced monthly newsletters spotlighting alternative funders and practitioners, launched an international chapter, London funding directory and organised several community events including an investors roundtable to examine the challenges and gaps in current funding mechanisms, explore how we can support and foster alternative models and how together and how we can shape an ecosystem collaboration. The roundtable featured participation from Bethnal Green Ventures, UnLtd, Social Tech Trust, Year Here, NESTA, Simply Ethical, Diversity VC, ustwo Adventure, Big Society Capital, Ficus VS and SSCH.

Education is a fundamental human right that every child is entitled to. Yet Pakistan has the highest rate of OSC (out of school children). I worked with Rehaab Daud to design a marketing strategy for Akhuwat's UpEffect crowdfunding campaign to make education accessible for all children in Pakistan. 

I worked with Rehaab Daud to develop a marketing strategy for the Thraedable UpEffect crowdfunding campaign. We produced a promotional video centred around Behind The Netra's Passports spoken word.
