It Starts at Home: Redefining Social Responsibility | H.E. Maysa Alnuwais | TEDxAlBateen

Core Values & Philosophy - Giving is not about the amount but about the care, emphasizing responsibility towards others as a way of being [1] - Values travel faster than bloodlines, becoming a family's legacy when lived sincerely [2] - Compassion, when organized, can move an entire society forward [12] MAN's Role & Impact - MAN acts as a bridge between compassion and structure, connecting the government, private sector, and the wider community to address social challenges [2] - MAN works across four main sectors: health, education, social, and environment, focusing on areas where contributions can make the greatest difference [2] - MAN assesses projects based on whether they address a social challenge, are sustainable, and create measurable impact in people's lives [2] - MAN provides detailed impact reports and social return of investment analysis to show contributors what their contributions have achieved [3] Project Examples & Outcomes - A dialysis center was established through collaboration between a contributor, the health sector regulator, a health operator, and the government, serving hundreds of patients annually [2][3] - The intergenerational integration program addressed loneliness and isolation among senior citizens, leading to improved health stats [5][6][7][8] - The series showcased 15 projects through the lens of the beneficiary, contributor, and operator, demonstrating the impact of compassion and community collaboration [10][11] Call to Action - Every company, leader, and individual has a role to play in building a future shaped by compassion, contribution, and community [16][17] - Businesses should let profit create purpose, and individuals should recognize that every dirham and every hour matters [17] - Real change begins with sincerity, not the size of the contribution [17]
