Foundation for a cause
Rahman is also involved with charitable causes. In 2004, he was appointed as the global ambassador of the Stop TB Partnership, a project by the World Health Organization (WHO). As a producer on the single ’We can make it Better’ by Don Asian alongside Mukhtar Sahota, he showed his charitable side with all the proceeds going to the tsunami victims, as did his 2004 tsunami relief concert in India.
More recently, Rahman launched the A R Rahman Foundation, which is a step towards eradication of hunger and poverty.
The aim of the foundation is to tackle the issue of poverty by providing education to the poor and equipping them with knowledge and skills to earn a living.
An immediate outcome of this initiative was Rahman’s first single in the English language called ’Pray for me brother’, which released in early 2007 wherein all proceeds from sales are towards the A R Rahman Foundation
