The Spark: From Zero Capital to Sustainable Impact

Our journey didn't begin in a boardroom; it started with a single realisation: while immediate aid is vital, long-term independence is the only way to break the cycle of poverty. At 18, our founder, Raudhah Nazran, was already working on the ground with homeless communities, but she found herself searching for a more permanent solution than just providing the next meal.

After witnessing the power of social entrepreneurship during her law studies in the UK, she turned down corporate offers to return home and build a platform that treated the marginalised not as victims, but as high-potential entrepreneurs. Accelerate Global was launched in 2019 with zero capital, fuelled by a single workshop that proved a mindset shift—combined with technical skills—could turn a struggle into a sustainable business.

A Leadership-Driven Vision

Our growth is driven by a commitment to excellence and a refusal to accept the status quo in the social sector. This vision has led our founder to be recognised on global stages, including the Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia list, Tatler Asia’s Most Influential, and as a speaker at the UK Parliament. These honors reflect the weight of the mission we carry: to bridge the gap between those with talent and those with opportunity.
