Social Impact
Impact That Reaches People
Social impact is not simply about numbers. It is about the individual lives behind those numbers. Marina Shaikh's approach to philanthropy focuses on practical action — identifying genuine needs, building meaningful partnerships and ensuring that resources reach communities where they can make a difference.
Through The Rising World Foundation and collaborative initiatives, her work has addressed the following areas.
Women's Empowerment
Supporting dignity, health, opportunity and greater independence for women.
Children & Education
Helping improve access to education, healthcare and essential resources for children.
Healthcare Accessibility
Supporting communities with essential medical assistance and health-related resources.
Livelihood Support
Providing resources that can enable individuals and families to become more self-reliant.
Humanitarian Relief
Responding to communities during periods of exceptional need.
Building Sustainable Change
Marina believes philanthropy should go beyond short-term assistance. Wherever possible, initiatives should provide people with resources and opportunities that contribute towards greater independence, dignity and long-term wellbeing.
It is this philosophy that continues to shape her approach to social impact.
