The Discovery Foundation.
ETTG’s structured philanthropic work is delivered through the Discovery Foundation, chaired by co-founder Neelo Awan. Formalising the work ensures that community investment is planned, accountable and aligned with long-term priorities rather than treated as ad hoc corporate giving.
The Foundation focuses on educational infrastructure, education-related initiatives, access to clean water, women empowerment, community development and partnerships that support sustainable national progress.
Expanding Access to Early Childhood Education.
The preschools are named Pre-Escolar Avó Ana Irene Olímpia de Almeida in honour of the co-founder’s mother. The first school opened in Metinaro in 2016.
