It is our belief that the true value
of a company is in the benefit it brings to those who really need it.

OUR SOCIAL IMPACT WORK AEmpowering Change, Inspiring Hope t Vaculug we believe in the power
of compassion, unity, and collective action to create a brighter, more equitable world. When we were acquired by the Zenises Group in 2018 we partnered with the Zenises
Foundation to run our charitable giving programme. As the foundation had an infrastructure far superior to the one at Vaculug and had the experience
for many years of running a charitable giving organisation this made sense for us.
The Zenises Foundation currently runs eight dedicated initiatives for Vaculug. They are l isted below and will be outlined in detail in the coming pages.
• Oxford Outreach
• Z Aspire
• Oneness Education Initiative • Prayer for Purpose
• Homes for Hope
• Westlake Wishes
• Grantham Giving
Our work with the Zenises Foundation focuses on two main issues: Education and Food Security. Our charitable efforts and resources are dedicated to supporting the global SDGs, namely SDGs 1, 2, 4,
8 and 17 (which represent no poverty, zero hunger, quality education, decent work and economic growth and partnerships for the goals, respectively).
To date Vaculug has provided 14 scholarships to those in need at the University of Oxford and have provided over 100 scholarships to those in need in India.
Children are the some of the most imaginative people on the planet. We need to help them find
a passion or purpose that is uniquely theirs. Once they do that then they can imagine the world they want to live in. Their passionate mind will then help them create that world.
Haarjeev Kandhari,
Vaculug Chairman
We partnered with the Zenises Foundation to build dedicated giving programmes for us where we could deploy our funds knowing they would get to the real people in need. We also took over funding existing programmes of the Foundation that resonated with our corporate culture. Vaculug has the unwavering belief that every act of kindness can transform lives and the team at the Zenises Foundation shared that belief with us – a match made in heaven!
