“Ghanim the Winner” is the founder and owner of Gharissa Ice cream located in Qatar.
(Ghanim Mohammad Almuftah in Action https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sey5A2JjxM)
As a young entrepreneur, Ghanim is celebrating his successful and expanding business started
with Entrepreneur Middle East and North Africa in 2014. He won the Social Entrepreneur of the
Year award with his dream to franchise Gharissa Ice cream in other gulf countries and around
the world.
Aside from developing ice cream flavors, Ghanim is participating in providing services and
therapies for person with related disabilities in the region. He established the Association of
Ghanim that aims to raise fund for wheel chairs to supply the needy.
A recipient of numerous awards for these and other humanitarian efforts, Ghanim Al Muftah
has crisscrossed the world, to countries like to inspire children to learn the skills of
entrepreneurship, so they may start business of their own and learn for the first time the true
meaning of independence and self- realization.
My Instagram account ‘@g_almuftah’, launched in February 2013, has over 1.2 M followers.
After the success and number of followers on his Instagram account, Ghanim and his family
launched the Ghanim Almuftah Foundation for peace and prosperity. The foundation
encourages physically disabled people to integrate with mainstream society.
In 2015, Ghanim fulfilled his ambition and became a certified Open Water Diver (scuba diving)
In April 2016, Ghanim undertook his “first climbing” adventure going uphill to the peak of the
Jebel Shams mountain in Oman, considered to be the highest in the Arabian Gulf countries and
raised the Flag of Qatar on its summit. The hike on the mountain is roughly 10 kilometers uphill.
My positivity comes from my family who have taught me that life is beautiful and that nothing
is impossible. My mother has taught me that disabled people are capable of giving more and
can be active in the society.
