Rupani foundationRupani who along with her father has established the Rupani Foundation to create employment, promote equity participation, and reduce poverty in the mountain communities of South and Central Asia. The Foundation's objective is to create economic opportunities, knowledgeable leadership, and 'aristocracies of merit' for the marginalized communities, particularly women and youth. The main focus is to develop programs such as Gem Cutting and Polishing Training Centers and Early Childhood Education Centers for the growth of the people living in inaccessible areas. In her own words Annie Rupani says, "The one charity that is close to my heart is Rupani Foundation. My father created this charity in 2006 and with the help and support from those around us, we have been able to open doors for the people in the Northern Areas of Pakistan, particularly women. Rupani Foundation began by opening gem cutting and polishing centers which gave women training in how to cut and polish gems so as to create another source of income for their household. The number of centers has grown significantly and now Rupani Foundation is taking upon other projects such as early child development initiatives and hydro-electric power generation. Besides the fact that I am biased considering this is my family’s foundation, I have personally been to the mountainous areas of Pakistan and helped inaugurate these centers. I have personally spoken to the women whose lives are changing under these initiatives as they are being given opportunities for work outside of the house. The reason I support Rupani Foundation is because I strongly believe in its values and approach to create a higher standard of living for all in Pakistan."
Other NewsIn January 2011, Rupani[9] openly supported Veena Malik, a Pakistani actress who was being criticized for being on an Indian Television show, Bigg Boss (Indian TV series). Rupani spoke in defence for Malik and said that it was unfortunate for Pakistan to have a male dominated society in which women were being victimized. Rupani added that such clerics were targeting women in general so that they remain uneducated, submissive and weak. Rupani became one of the first few women to step up and support Malik.
