Baron Swraj Paul, in an exclusive interview with Blitz India, announced his list of donations from his newly planned charity. The new charity, Baron Swraj, said will donate 10 million pounds to King Charles Charity, One million pounds to PM Charity, 100,000 pounds to Gordon Brown, 50,000 pounds to Tony Blair and 40,000 pounds to John Major. Additionally, the Ambika Paul Foundation, United Kingdom in memory of his daughter Ambika, The Ambika Paul Foundation is a charitable trust set up in memory of Baron Paul’s daughter Ambika, who died of leukaemia in 1968 at the age of four. It was for Ambika’s treatment that brought Baron Paul to Britain in 1966.

Baron Paul remained in England after her tragic death and went on to create the Caparo Group of companies, which currently has a turnover of USD 1.5 billion. The Foundation promotes the well-being of children around the world through education, culture and health and seeks to encourage and inspire them to learn about the world they live in. The foundation supports a number of children charities in UK as well as the Zoological Society of London.

Whilst receiving treatment in England, London Zoo became Ambika’s favourite destination and in 1994, when the Zoo was under threat of closure, Baron Paul gave 1 million pounds to the Zoological Society of London which used that donation for rebuilding the London’s Children’s Zoo in her name.
