RYTHM Foundation is proud to share that our Chairperson, Datin Sri Umayal Eswaran, has been featured in The Star in an article titled “Woman Philanthropist Leads by Standing with the People.”
Published as part of the newspaper’s International Women’s Month series, the feature highlights Datin Sri Umayal’s inspiring leadership and her commitment to advancing education, women’s empowerment and community-led change.
The article explores her belief that meaningful philanthropy goes beyond financial support and begins with standing alongside communities, listening to their needs, and empowering them to shape their own futures.
Through her leadership at RYTHM, Datin Sri Umayal has championed initiatives that uplift underserved communities by expanding access to education, creating opportunities for women and girls, and supporting programmes that strengthen communities from within.
Her people-centred philosophy reflects the Foundation’s guiding principle of Raise Yourself To Help Mankind (RYTHM) — a call to personal growth and collective responsibility in creating sustainable social impact.
This feature in one of Malaysia’s leading publications recognises not only Datin Sri Umayal’s dedication to social impact, but also the growing importance of empathetic, community-driven philanthropy in addressing today’s social challenges.
