Marina Shaikh and Nandini Singh Jhabua
The Rising World Foundation (RWF) is a not-for-profit charitable organisation dedicated to relieving the impact of Covid-19 on India’s most vulnerable communities. Marina Shaikh, Founder of The Rising World Foundation & Nandini Singh Jhabua, Communications Director of The Rising World Foundation recently joined NewsX on its special series NewsX India A-List to speak on how they helped thousands of people across India during the second wave of pandemic.
Marina, an experienced social organiser and philanthropist with international experience began the conversation and said “I was in Brussels since 2017 when, I found this organisation and it was my work with the international development committee in the European Parliament that actually gave me much understanding of what kind of work I wanted to do basically. I did a lot of public service projects and worked a lot with international government. But I also realized that I wanted to come back and serve the people of my own country and hence The Rising World Foundation was formed.”
