From her native Kuwait, it guides her work as an entrepreneur, philanthropist, author, film producer, and columnist and is the source of her mission to empower children, young people, and women.

Her social enterprises include Prismologie, Intisars, and Ebbarra, non-profits Alnowair and Bareec and the charitable Intisar Foundation. HH Sheikha Intisar is often seen in refugee camps across the region, offering solace to women suffering from war trauma.

HH Sheikha Intisar’s own personal victory over trauma caused by the 1990 Iraqi invasion of Kuwait fuels her conviction to spare no effort to self-empower Arab women. A testament to that is Intisar Foundation’s pioneering One Million Arab Women initiative, a 30-year plan to alleviate trauma in one million Arab women impacted by the brutality of war, through drama therapy.
