OUR STORY

Hasar Partners emerged from a compelling need to establish a climate-resilient entity making a real impact in the Kurdistan Region. Our journey began in early 2019, when our founder, Earth Science Engineer and activist Hawkar Ali Abdulhaq, articulated the urgency for solid climate action on a radio program. This message resonated with Naz Nawzad Bajgar, deputy general director of Cihan Bank, who facilitated a collaboration that led to the birth of Hasar. Joined by Gashbin Idris Ali and other dedicated members, we evolved into a non-profit organization, pioneering project development and community-led initiatives.

Our mission at Hasar is to intertwine the fates of corporations and communities through our innovative Climate Resilience Impact Credits, ensuring mutual prosperity and forging a resilient future. We envision a world where 20 million people across vulnerable regions are empowered with resilience, making it an integral part of every community. Our focus is on transforming landscapes for sustainable water use, greener canopies, improved soil quality, and social-economic sustainability.

Significant strides have been made since our inception. We’ve gained permission from the KRG government to initiate projects over nearly 25 hectares, planted 310,000 trees, and developed a wastewater recycling system, creating numerous jobs. Our notable projects include MillionOaks, planting over 310,000 trees, and our impactful wastewater recycling initiative.

Our approach to climate resilience and community support begins with obtaining permissions, conducting feasibility studies, blueprinting projects, implementing, monitoring real-time impacts, and documenting high-impact results. This process is underpinned by our commitment, circularity, partnerships, inclusivity, and transparency.

Community engagement and partnerships form our backbone, aligning with SDG17 for enhanced impact. Collaborations with UNICEF, KRG, ShaMaran Petroleum Corp., Cihan Bank, Worldstartup, AxessImpact, Cibola Partners, and Innovative 4 Nature have been instrumental in our growth. Our leadership team, comprising PhD researchers and entrepreneurs, alongside on-ground engineers, bring expertise, inspiration, and strategic oversight.

Looking forward, Hasar aims to unify our projects under the Hasar Climate Resilience Impact Credits initiative, scaling up and expanding regionally. We are also establishing a presence in the Netherlands to bridge European impact investors with our mission in Iraq.

To contribute to our mission, individuals can volunteer, corporations can engage in our actions to promote CSR, NGOs can co-develop projects with us, and authorities can support our Impact Credits. For more information or to collaborate, reach out to us at [email protected].
