The Baby Garage empowers new parents, always there circulating love. 

Guidance Through Each Stage We understand that each stage of motherhood brings unique challenges. That's why we've created a comprehensive platform, including social media channels, and an informative blog to provide expert opinions and advice on parenting topics. We recognized that these mothers were looking for reliable information about the products they were considering purchasing for their babies, and we wanted to provide them with a space where they could find that information. Our original content helps guide mothers through the maze of parenthood, from choosing age-appropriate products to understanding what to avoid when opting for Preloved items.

A Vision for the Future...

We envision The Baby Garage becoming the premier choice for parents across the MENA region, transforming the way they make shopping decisions. Our aspiration extends beyond being a marketplace; we aim to establish ourselves as a trusted 'Kids Shopping Advisory Center' guiding parents through every step of their purchasing journey.

From Personal Experience to Universal Solution...

In the heart of The Baby Garage, there's a story that echoes the pulse of every mother's heart, a story born out of a need, a dream, and an overwhelming desire to make a difference. That story belongs to Farah Ahmed, the dynamic force behind The Baby Garage.

Farah, our dedicated Founder and CEO, found herself amidst a whirlwind of excitement and transformation as she embarked on her journey into motherhood. She quickly noticed how rapidly her children outgrew their baby items. Each new stage brought different needs, and the unused products started to pile up. This observation sparked a question within Farah that would become the foundation of The Baby Garage - "Why aren't people benefiting from others' Preloved products?"

With this question in mind and a vision to provide a solution, Farah decided to create a platform in 2015. It began modestly as a Facebook community through 100% volunteer efforts by mothers who were determined to make a difference. It was driven by a common bond shared by engaged mothers striving to provide the best for their children. With the support of the Technology Innovation & Entrepreneurship Center in the Ministry of Telecommunication in Egypt in 2019, it has blossomed into an amazing platform that built a dedicated community and formed the backbone of what The Baby Garage is today. Its members shared a common bond - engaged mothers striving to provide the best for their children.

Building a Trusted Community...

In the digital corridors of The Baby Garage, within its marvelous Facebook community, we can see the reflections of Farah's aspirations, embodied in the heartwarming stories of mothers who found a solution to their needs or someone who benefited from an item that was otherwise gathering dust. Farah’s vision took shape - The Baby Garage, a place that offered the chance to make a difference, one baby item at a time.

Our story is still being written. Each day we inch closer to our dream of becoming the largest and first interface for every mother in the Middle East. We strive to be more than just a marketplace - we aim to be a haven for mothers, a platform that understands their needs, shares their challenges, and celebrates their victories.

Making a Difference: Our Commitment to Social Good

In alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), The Baby Garage is dedicated to promoting social good in various areas:

  • No Poverty: Our 'Mompreneur' initiative encourages home-based businesses initiated by mothers. By providing comprehensive commerce services, community support, and business advice, we empower these entrepreneurs to contribute economically while balancing their family responsibilities.
  • Zero Hunger: Each year, we facilitate a donation campaign where community members donate Preloved items and essentials, including food products, to orphanages. This initiative aligns with our mission of reducing hunger and supporting vulnerable communities.
  • Gender Equality: We believe parenthood is a shared responsibility. We promote gender equality by inviting fathers to actively participate in our community discussions and make joint decisions regarding their children.
  • Decent Work and Economic Growth: We champion small business growth, providing support and opportunities for businesses to thrive and contribute to economic prosperity.
  • Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure: We're continuously investing in technology and R&D to improve industry infrastructure. Our advanced tech solutions streamline the online retail journey, promoting innovation in the fast-moving baby retail industry.
  • Reduced Inequalities: We aim to minimize gender inequalities by encouraging both mothers and fathers to contribute to parenting decisions and support each other in their careers.
  • Responsible Consumption and Production: With children's changing needs comes a high turnover of products. We encourage parents to wisely invest in quality items and participate in our buy/sell/donate initiative, helping other families and reducing waste.
  • Climate Action: Our promotion of product recycling and reuse contributes to environmental sustainability. By encouraging our community to circulate their items, we help reduce industrial waste and mitigate climate change.

Farah Ahmed, the woman behind the scenes, continues to lead us with passion and dedication, turning her vision into reality one step at a time. Join us as we move forward, creating a future where no baby item goes unused and every mother finds what she needs for her child. This is the story of The Baby Garage, and we invite you to be a part of it.
