Giving back to the community is a mantra that Aisha Saeed Harib lives by. “My full-time job is as a corporate social responsibility manager where I create packages for the private sector to help them give back to the community and the less fortunate. I also work with H.E. Shamma Bint Suhail Al Mazrui, the Minister of Youth, as I run the National Youth Service Council and I recently graduated as a soldier from the National Service Authority.”
Aisha began helping others in 2011 when she established her first NGO – Social Bandage. “It was designed to create social campaigns and create opportunities for youth to invest their free time in. My first campaign was called ‘Give A Wheelchair’ where I sold T-shirts to raise money to buy electronic wheelchairs. We raised enough to buy 800.” Of her roles, Aisha says: “I’m very passionate about philanthropy and helping others is my career objective.”
