The Exchange of Ma’an, The Authority of Social Contribution at Yas Mall

This is the final weekend at The Exchange by Ma’an at the Yas Mall. The Exchange has been a great platform for community engagement. It helped The Butterfly Foundation and the other nine incubators of Ma’an to be known, to increase their visibility and credibility through the engagement with People of Determination, families, service providers, Government entities and corporates. We learned basic concepts of finance and how to strive for sustainability while measuring the social outcomes and social impact. The Exchange is a tangible proof that is possible to create collaboration between the public and private sector, for the development of the third sector and a unique trust for the creation of a joyful community. I was privileged to be part of it. New horizons will open for The Butterfly Foundation but The Exchange of Ma’an will always have a special place in my heart. thank you Ma’an.
