Story

England rugby star Maro Itoje has proudly launched The Pearl Fund, which will work in partnership with Community Development Links Initiative (CDLi). By focusing on a small number of children, they can be supported for longer, and more significantly, than supporting a higher number of children for a shorter period.

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.
