Abraham is a firm believer in giving back to society and contributes regularly to various local social causes. In line with the group's CSR initiatives, he has created job opportunities for Syrian refugees under Refugee Special Crowd. He also personally sponsors a few children from low income families, covering their education expenses right through to completion of high school. Abraham is also behind the initiative to develop eco-friendly products in India, using areca leaves as the raw material. The leaves are sourced from local farmers, hence helping to improve the socioeconomic situation of people in that area through increased income and improved livelihoods. In Nigeria, Abraham established a business where organic products are purchased from local farmers and processed and exported. This has contributed to the socioeconomic development of the farmers by providing them with a market for their products
