Founder's Word
Welcome to my life’s purpose at Amali Reflecting on my entrepreneurial journey, if I could change something, I express a deep desire to have connected with mentors earlier in my life. Consequently, I established the Amali program. Amali is my destination in life; there is nothing more beautiful than helping others and changing lives. I work tirelessly and create wealth to invest solely in my program. I envision Amali, twenty years from now, as a foundation spanning across many countries around the world.
I believe that my journey, as a woman from the Middle East, hailing from a country like Jordan and now residing in the breathtaking country of Switzerland, has been profoundly meaningful. Starting from humble beginnings and ascending the stairs of success has been inspiring for many. I am compelled to share my experiences to assist entrepreneurs who lack access and opportunities, ultimately aiming to leave behind a legacy of empowerment and fulfillment, ensuring that I “die empty” by giving all I have to offer.
