    VEGAN CHALLENGES

    Many existing guides, though valuable, primarily cater to experiences in Europe, Northern America, and other global north countries. Our objective is to present a distinctive challenge crafted by and for Middle Eastern individuals, delivered in Arabic, and tailored to local cultures and traditions. It's essential to recognize that a significant portion of Middle Eastern cuisine is inherently plant-based, aligning with our mission.

    V-LABEL

    The Middle East Vegan Society provides the esteemed V-Label trademark, a widely recognized certification for businesses seeking to have their products verified as vegan. Our objective is twofold: to normalize veganism and plant-exclusive diets while simplifying the transition to these dietary choices as much as possible.

    DIVERSITY

    The Middle East Vegan Society actively promotes and aids activists and change makers from the Middle East and North Africa, highlighting the richness and variety within our movement and emphasizing the vital contributions made by individuals and institutions in the region. Moreover, we provide complimentary consultations on supporting ethnic minorities in the global north and maintain a comprehensive database of vegan individuals that may be of interest to other organizations seeking collaborations.

    SUPPORT

    The philosophy of animal rights and animal protection, coupled with actionable steps toward a fairer and sustainable future, should be readily accessible and easy to comprehend. The Middle East Vegan Society actively assists other organizations and charities by translating their guides and content into Arabic, facilitating broader dissemination and amplifying their impact.

We are dedicated to offering free support to businesses in various sectors including the food and beverages industry, hotels, hospitals, events, and other corporate entities. Our objective is to assist these businesses in implementing strategies that facilitate and encourage their consumers to make informed, healthy, and sustainable choices.
