Dubai, UAE – January 2024 - In the heart of the UAE, where dreams grow and people from all over the world come together, one woman is inspiring positive change. Rima Zanoun, a businesswoman, mentor, and speaker, believes in creating businesses that not only succeed but also help people and the environment. Her work shows that success can be meaningful, kind, and sustainable.

Rima shares a simple message: “We are all connected. By working together, we can create a world full of kindness, hope, and purpose.” Rima’s idea of “conscious business” is changing how people think about success. To her, businesses should not only focus on making money but also on doing good. She shows how this can work through two special ventures:

  • MAKAW: A chocolate brand that uses fair-trade cacao, helping farmers earn a fair income while protecting the environment. Each piece of chocolate tells a story of fairness and care.
  • Kream by MAKAW: A cozy cafe in Dubai where people enjoy delicious food and learn about mindful living. It’s more than a cafe; it’s a place to connect and share ideas.

“These are not just businesses; they are ways to make the world a better place,” Rima says. Rima believes that making a positive change doesn’t have to be hard. Her approach focuses on three clear ideas:

  1. Caring for Nature
    • Rima’s businesses use eco-friendly materials and reduce waste.
    • “Every small step to care for the planet matters,” she says.
  2. Helping Communities
    • Rima supports local workers and ensures that everyone feels included.
    • “When we help others grow, we all become stronger,” she explains.
  3. Leading with Kindness
    • Rima believes in being a fair and honest leader. She encourages her team to follow the same values.
    • “Good leadership means making choices that help everyone,” she adds.

For Rima, the UAE is not just where she lives and works - it’s the foundation of her vision. With its focus on innovation and sustainability, the UAE motivates people to think big and act responsibly. Projects like the UAE Net Zero by 2050 strategy inspire Rima to align her work with environmental goals. “Dubai is a place where dreams come true,” Rima says. “It’s not just about building success; it’s about building a better world.”

Rima’s story is as inspiring as her message. Growing up in the UAE, she was always curious about the world and how she could make it better. She studied art, philosophy, and fashion, which helped her think creatively and with empathy. These interests led her to start businesses that focus on kindness and sustainability. Her first big project, Her Hub, was a place where women could share ideas and support one another. This small step sparked something much bigger - Rima’s mission to create businesses that bring people together and care for the planet.

MAKAW is not just a chocolate brand; it shows what businesses can do when they care for people and nature. By sourcing fair-trade cacao, MAKAW uplifts farming communities and supports sustainable practices. Kream by MAKAW takes this vision further. It’s more than a cafe; it’s a community space where people can relax, connect, and learn about mindful living. “Everything I do is about bringing people together,” Rima says. “When we connect, we create something truly special.”

As the new year begins, Rima is inviting everyone—leaders, businesses, and individuals—to think about how they can contribute to a kinder and more inclusive world. She believes we can all make a difference by:

  • Sharing positive stories and uplifting others.
  • Making choices that are good for both people and the planet.
  • Taking care of ourselves and others through kindness and self-care.

Through her workshops, talks, and social media platforms, Rima hopes to inspire millions to live with purpose and compassion. Her Instagram, @rimazanoun.talks, is full of simple ideas to help people take small steps toward big changes. Rima’s journey reminds us that even small actions can lead to big changes. Whether through her businesses or her inspiring talks, she shows that success isn’t just about personal achievements - it’s about helping others along the way. “Every small decision can make the world better,” Rima says. Her story, now featured in Voices of UAE, is a call for all of us to step up, take action, and let kindness guide our lives.

Let’s make 2025 a year of positive change. Follow Rima’s journey and join her in creating a world where kindness leads the way. Together, we can build a brighter future for everyone.
