ZAKKI is a social startup focusing on creating an inclusive community, particularly for the elderly and people with disabilities. Our mission is to facilitate alms and donations collection and distribution to help the elderly and people with disabilities who work in the informal sector to get better livelihoods through micro-business management, giving them greater market exposure.

Our Minimum Viable Product (MVP) can be found at https://www.zakki.org. We are still redesigning ZAKKI fully functional product. We expect to develop the ZAKKI fully functional product in the upcoming years.

ZAKKI provides equal volunteering opportunities for everyone regardless of age, sex/gender, colour, race, creed, nationality/origin, marital status, sexual orientation, political belief, or disability that does not prohibit essential performance of job functions.
