In a recent event held at the Capital Club in Lagos, Woodhall Capital International Foundation hosted Dr. Anthony Wallersteiner, head of The Stowe Group, alongside his team from the prestigious Stowe School in the UK.

The event, aimed at showcasing the foundation’s work in Nigeria, provided an opportunity to introduce the Stowe team to local communities, Nigerian alumni, and prospective parents.

Stowe School, an esteemed British institution for students aged 13–18, is renowned for its educational excellence and commitment to nurturing students for future challenges.

Woodhall Capital, with its mission to promote Nigeria globally, organised the event to highlight Nigeria’s investment potential and cultural richness.

Viavo Hunponu-Wusu, chairman of Woodhall Capital Foundation, emphasised the importance of such collaborations, noting that the partnership aligns with the foundation’s focus on education, which he describes as “key to addressing societal challenges.”

Dr. Wallersteiner spoke of the meaningful connection between UK charitable organisations and Nigerian philanthropists, stating, “It is exciting to see what can be achieved by working together to make Nigeria, and indeed the world, a better place.”

He shared insights into Stowe School’s initiatives, which include educational programmes and humanitarian outreach in areas like Maiduguri and Borno.

“We’ve been in Nigeria for over a week, feeding more than two thousand children and assisting with education programmes,” Wallersteiner revealed, noting the school’s efforts to educate teachers, support girls’ education, and provide aid to vulnerable youth.

During their stay, the Stowe School team also visited the Soup Kitchen of Woodhall Capital International Foundation, in collaboration with the Kanu Heart Foundation.

The partnership aligns with Woodhall Capital’s broader objective to demonstrate Nigeria’s generosity, with foundation founder Moji Hunponu-Wusu highlighting that “Nigerians are a giving nation, something that isn’t always recognised.”

Stowe School alumni parent, Otunba Funsho Lawal, commended the institution’s impact on his four children, stating, “Stowe brought out the best in my children, shaping them into disciplined and focused individuals.”

Lawal also praised the school’s stability under the consistent leadership of Dr. Wallersteiner.

The event reinforced Woodhall Capital’s commitment to expanding educational opportunities in Nigeria through partnerships with institutions like Stowe.

Hunponu-Wusu expressed her desire for more Nigerians to access high-quality education, both locally and internationally, adding, “We aim to show that our focus on education is international and that Nigerian families also give generously.”

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.

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.
