Launched in October 2013, Reach is a non-profit incorporated organization dedicated to female mentoring and leadership. Founded by a group of four Dubai-based professional women, Reach is the first non-profit organization to be registered in the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) and aims to support and develop the skills of female professionals in the region.
