In a wide-ranging conversation withEntrepreneur Middle EastManaging Editor Tamara Pupic, H.H. AlSabah talked about the importance of applying entrepreneurial thinking in the field of philanthropy. "You need to focus on impact," she said. "Ïf something is not impactful, one has to stop doing it. There's no ego about it. If it doesn't make an impact, then it is depleting of energy, while providing nothing. In all my initiatives, we always measure the impact."
