  • A purposeful collaboration offering free access to Majarra’s platform for over 10,000 young men and women.
  • Increase in female participation to 30%, reflecting broader inclusivity.

Crescent Enterprises, the UAE-headquartered multinational diversified business, in partnership with Majarra, the region’s leading Arabic digital knowledge platform, today announced the expansion of the Renaissance Partners Program, a strategic initiative designed to remove barriers to knowledge by offering free Majarra subscriptions to underserved communities across the Arab world.
Through this collaboration, more than 10,000 young men and women across the region have been granted complimentary access to Majarra’s platform.

This milestone reinforces the growing importance of Arabic digital content in driving inclusion, supporting youth engagement, and strengthening participation in the global knowledge economy.

Majarra’s application offers more than 70,000 content pieces in various formats, including articles, audio, video, bite-sized content, podcasts, and more.

The impact of the program is particularly evident in its growing inclusivity: female participation reached 30% this year compared to last year; an achievement driven by a dedicated awareness campaign launched under the Renaissance Partners Program. This milestone underscores Majarra’s pivotal role in promoting equal access to knowledge resources and empowering women across the Arab world.

Ola Al Haj Hussin, Corporate Citizenship Manager at Crescent Enterprises, commented, “Access to knowledge is a powerful enabler of opportunity, innovation, and progress. Through our partnership with Majarra, we are making world-class content accessible to Arabic-speaking communities, advancing digital inclusion, promoting gender equity, and laying stronger foundations for sustainable social and economic development across the region.”

Dia Haykal, Director of Brand and Partnerships at Majarra, said: “Our mission is to make the most trusted knowledge and insights globally available in Arabic and to empower Arabs to play an active role in the global knowledge economy. By providing the best Arabic content online, delivered in formats that cater to every lifestyle and developmental need, we ensure knowledge is both accessible and relevant. With the continued support of Crescent Enterprises, we are not only transforming how knowledge is accessed and shared across the region but also inspiring the next generation to become creators of knowledge.”

Mo’men Abou Yousef, a beneficiary of the program in Palestine, shared:
“The Renaissance Partners Program has been a turning point in my educational journey. My subscription to the Majarra app gave me access to the latest insights in management, leadership, and effective communication, alongside a wide range of other topics. What makes Majarra unique is how it delivers focused and practical information in multiple formats—written, audio, and video—making the learning experience more rewarding and impactful.”

The continued expansion of the Renaissance Partners Program reflects the growing importance of high-quality, useful Arabic content online in promoting inclusion, supporting youth participation, and strengthening the Arab world’s contribution to the global knowledge economy. Majarra provides more than 70,000 content pieces, including articles, videos, and podcasts, cementing its reputation as the provider of the best Arabic content online.

This partnership further reinforces Crescent Enterprises’ long-standing commitment to advancing education, expanding digital inclusion, and supporting high-impact initiatives that drive positive change across the Arab region and beyond.

Applications for the 2025 Renaissance Partners Program remain open. Individuals facing barriers to accessing world-class knowledge are encouraged to apply via the program’s application link to gain free access to thousands of high-quality resources that support learning, professional development, and community empowerment.
