Story

England and Saracens rugby star Maro Itoje has proudly launched The Pearl Fund, which will work in partnership with Community Development Links Initiative (CDLi) and Stewardship.

The first programme will be a ‘cradle-to college’ approach, where a cohort of pre-school children from one of Lagos’ most deprived areas will be supported – from early childhood, through the education system until school leaving age.

But it’s not just life-changing for those who receive the education. By supporting this fund to improve access to education for children in Nigeria, you will be transforming the lives of future generations and communities.

Raising funds for

If the fundraising exceeds, or does not reach its intended target, funds will be used to generally support the work of CDLi (Nigerian registered not-for-profit organisation) and World Vision UK (registered charity number 285908 in England & Wales).
