Partners + awards

We have been lucky since starting Mashallah News to collaborate with interesting people – and we have also received grants and awards. These are the main highlights:

Mashallah News was one of 11 projects selected to receive the Ebticar-Media grant supporting innovative online media platforms in the Arab world. Ebticar is financed by the European Union and by the French operator in media cooperation, CFI, as well as other partners, including Babelmed (Italy), FEI (France), Anna Lindh Foundation (Egypt) and Samir Kassir Foundation (Lebanon).
