On 4th July, 2019 the TAG Education Trust Foundation was officially launched at Lancaster University Ghana Campus, A&C Centre, East Legon as part of the corporate social responsibility initiatives of Transnational Academic Group (TAG).

The TAG Education Trust Foundation, founded by Mr. Rakesh Wahi was registered as a Foundation in the Republic of Ghana on 7th June 2019 to support the education and development of beneficiaries of the Foundation.

These beneficiaries include current or future students and scholars from disadvantaged backgrounds, who are citizens of the Republic of Ghana, disadvantaged communities of the Republic of Ghana and children of non-executive staff of TAG Ghana.

A similar Foundation, ABN Education Trust has been operating in South Africa since 2011, and through this foundation, TAG has granted bursaries and scholarships in support of the education of children of staff members and non- employees as well as disadvantaged communities.

The Patron of TAG Education Trust Foundation, Mrs. Saloni Wahi said “We are delighted to be able to extend our philanthropic activities to Ghana. Our focus is on Girl Child and Children from disadvantaged families, mainly to assist with their education as that is the most powerful tool to change someone’s life.”

After the launch, Mrs Wahi led a delegation including the Founder, Trustees of the Foundation and Staff members of Transnational Academic Group Ghana to visit and make a donation to children of Rising Star Home, an Orphanage located at Dodowa in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana.

The TAG Education Trust Foundation donated food and clothing items to the children of the Rising Star home, and staff members and Trustees of the Foundation spent some time playing and interacting with the children during the visit.
