The foundation's efforts have made a significant impact on people's lives, and Marina continues to work tirelessly to support vulnerable populations in India and beyond. Some of her most admirable work was during the dreaded second wave of covid, when she was able to procure oxygen concentrators, cylinders and canisters for the poorest of the poor. The major focus of the foundation is now to provide menstrual hygiene management skills to the communities that need it the most and make women independent and able to earn their own living so that they can uplift their communities.
