The TGI Cares Foundation, whose objectives promote food security by supporting appropriate education, championing social interventions, and providing relief in times of disaster, partnered with FoodClique Support Initiative, a leading NGO dedicated to eradicating hunger, for the outreach to cushion the worrying effects of the current economic hardships on Nigerians.

Rafiat Gawat, TGI Group’s head of Corporate Communications, stated,

“We recognize the profound impact of hunger on our communities, particularly in view of the cost-of-living crisis ravaging the world currently. Our commitment is unwavering in providing meaningful support to those at risk. As an organization, we will continue to play our part in eradicating hunger and supporting our communities.”

The CEO of FoodClique Support Initiative, Ibrahim Onilegbale, added,

“Our longstanding partnership with TGI Cares Foundation has always been about more than just providing food. Together, we have consistently worked to combat hunger and create sustainable solutions for a more secure future for many Nigerians.”

Following food donations during the pandemic, the foundation intensified efforts in achieving its objectives.

As part of its mandate to support education as a tool to engender food security, the foundation made a donation of laptops and pocket MiFi through Jigawa iLearn Scholars, to several students as they commenced their BSc, MSc and MBA programs at prestigious Indian universities under the e-VBAB Network Project among other things.

More recently, the foundation collaborated with the Cosmopolitan Women’s Club (CWC) by supporting the CWC Food Bank Project with monthly food donations.

This partnership exemplifies a shared commitment to sustainable development and community empowerment.

The TGI Cares Foundation and FoodClique partnership have not only addressed the immediate effects of the economic crisis but also laid a foundation for long-term community resilience and sustainability.

This partnership aligns with global objectives, including the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2 (Zero Hunger), 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), and 17 (Partnerships for the Goals).

To transform young learners’ lives, the TGI CARES Foundation – philanthropy arm of TGI Group – has partnered with Jigawa iLearn Scholars, an NGO, to provide tech work tools to several students as they commence their BSc, MSc and MBA programs at prestigious Indian universities under the eVBAB Network Project.

The e-VBAB project which is an initiative of the Government of India, under the Third India-Africa Summit commitments, was created to offer 15,000 scholarships to African students and professionals to pursue courses offered by premier Indian institutions in emerging areas. The initiative offers certifications, diplomas, as well as undergraduate and postgraduate degree courses.

The TGI CARES Foundation supported the 29 beneficiaries enrolled on the e-VBAB project under the Jigawa iLearn Scholar’s platform with laptops and pocket MiFi to enable them attend classes, and access learning materials independently.

Farouk Gumel, Executive Director and Vice Chairman, Africa, of the Tropical General Investments (TGI) Group, revealed that the TGI Cares Foundation’s causes are centered around guaranteeing food security by supporting appropriate education, championing social interventions and providing relief in times of disasters. ‘Supporting these scholars sits well within the focus areas of our foundation. The role of education cannot be downplayed in food security, it empowers the individual who will then go on to support their family. This creates a situation where, as more people get empowered, more people are pulled out of poverty”, he said.

Salim Ibrahim, a trainer with the Jigawa iLearn Scholars, acknowledged the tremendous impact of the equipment on their education. “These tools will enable them to access online resources, participate in virtual classes, and complete assignments on the go. It has allowed our Jigawa iLearn Scholars to remain connected with their teachers and peers, keeping their academic progress on track” he added.

iLearn is a complete Education Management Platform explicitly designed for Higher Institutions by providing full automation for managing online learning and content authoring with multimedia.

TGI Cares Foundation is the charitable foundation of TGI Group companies and its Promoter – Mr. Cornelis Vink MFR.
