Woodhall Capital, Stowe School partner to strengthen Nigeria’s education system

Woodhall Capital International Foundation (WCIF) a non-profit organisation, has partnered with The Stowe Group in the United Kingdom to strengthen the foundation’s educational and philanthropic ties with Nigeria.

WCIF recently hosted Anthony Wallersteiner, head of The Stowe Group, and his team, to an event in Lagos to showcase the foundation’s work in Nigeria and introduce the Stowe team to local communities, alumni, and prospective parents.

The event was also aimed at highlighting Nigeria’s investment potential and cultural richness.

Wallersteiner said Stowe School’s activities include educational programmes and humanitarian outreach in regions like Maiduguri and Borno, highlighting the importance of collaboration between UK charitable organisations and Nigerian philanthropists.

“We’ve been in Nigeria for over a week, feeding more than two thousand children and assisting with education programs,” Wallersteiner said.

“We’re focused on educating teachers, supporting girls’ education, and providing aid to vulnerable youth.

“It is exciting to see what can be achieved by working together to make Nigeria, and indeed the world, a better place.”

On his part, Viavo Hunponu-Wusu, chairperson and founder of Woodhall Capital Foundation, emphasised the importance of such collaborations, noting that the partnership aligns with the organisation’s focus on education.

He expressed her desire for more Nigerians to access high-quality education, both domestically and internationally.

“Nigerians are a giving nation, something that isn’t always recognized,” he said.

“We aim to show that our focus on education is international and that Nigerian families also give generously.”

The organisers said the partnership between Woodhall Capital and Stowe School signifies a shared commitment to education and societal development, and that both organisations are dedicated to providing opportunities for young people and improving the lives of those in need.

“This partnership between Woodhall Capital and Stowe School is part of a larger vision to foster cross-cultural understanding and elevate Nigeria’s educational landscape,” WCIF wrote in a statement.

“Through such initiatives, Woodhall Capital International Foundation seeks to create a lasting impact that extends beyond borders, celebrating philanthropy and education as universal pillars of progress.”
