TAHIR

WHY HIM? The first Indonesian to sign the Gates-buffett Giving Pledge, by which the world’s wealthiest people commit to donating at least half their fortune to charity, Tahir is one of the country’s most generous donors. He funds several educational and healthcare programmes within Indonesia, has donated US$65 million to the Global Fund to Fight Aids, Tuberculosis and Malaria, and has given millions of US dollars to support Syrian and Jordanian refugees. THAT’S NOT

ALL In late 2016, Tahir was appointed the first Eminent Advocate in Asia for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.
