In addition to donating laptops, tablets, books, medicine and sports facilities to schools, our David Oyelowo Leadership Scholarship for Girls provides full tuition, healthcare, and social & psychological support to young female survivors of terrorism and gender inequality in Nigeria. We proudly count among our supporters Oprah Winfrey, Angelina Jolie, Benedict Cumberbatch, Charlize Theron, David Oyelowo, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Chris Rock, Zoe Saldana, Rachel Brosnahan, Jimmy Kimmel, Thandiwe Newton, Tyrese, Andrew Garfield, Jeff Daniels, Daisy Ridley, Forest Whitaker, Yvonne Orji, Uzo Aduba, Cynthia Erivo, Bryan Cranston, Steven Soderbergh, The Oscars, Disney, CAA, Fox Studios, Janus Funds, Capital Group Companies, Google and Netflix.
