About The Pearl Fund

British-Nigerian rugby star Maro Itoje is proud to launch THE PEARL FUND: The Maro Itoje African Education Programme. The fund aims to generate a multi-million-pound investment in the education of children in Nigeria,  offering long-term support to help break the cycle of poverty. Donations will be given with Stewardship here A third of Nigeria’s population (70 million) live in extreme poverty, with 20 million children out of school – of which 60% are girls. The fund will be for a new cohort of 40 children from one of Lagos’ most deprived areas to start school annually. Their entire education will be financed ‘from cradle to college’, at schools that provide the same quality education as provided by the UK state. There is a particular focus on ensuring orphans and fatherless children complete both primary and secondary school education irrespective of their parental losses.

For those who complete secondary school education and wish to enter economic life through entrepreneurship, The Pearl Fund will look to support them pending approval of their business plan. An additional programme in Nigeria will focus on the town of Eku where Maro’s parents are from, to support those who have successfully completed primary and secondary education but can’t afford university or vocational training. The Fund will also provide additional sectoral programmes embedded around the children, such as economic support for their family, improved nutrition, and access to clean water.
