The Kwara State Education Trust Fund (KwaraETF) has entered into a strategic partnership with AlumUnite, an alumni engagement and mobilisation platform, to unlock structured alumni and private-sector participation in the revitalisation of public education across Kwara State.
The partnership is designed to activate alumni networks of public primary and secondary schools as a sustainable source of support for education infrastructure, learning resources, mentorship, and school-level development projects. By combining KwaraETF’s public-sector mandate with AlumUnite’s data, community, and engagement tools, the collaboration aims to formalise alumni giving and participation at scale.
Through this partnership, AlumUnite will support KwaraETF with alumni data aggregation, engagement frameworks, and digital tools (leveraging its proprietary CodED intelligence platform) that enable former students to reconnect with their schools and contribute transparently to priority needs. KwaraETF will, in turn, provide institutional oversight, programme design, and accountability structures to ensure that alumni contributions are channelled toward high-impact, clearly defined education outcomes.
Speaking on the partnership, KwaraETF noted that alumni represent an often under-leveraged asset in public education financing. “Across Kwara State, thousands of successful professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants were educated in our public schools. This partnership creates a credible, trusted pathway for them to give back — not sporadically, but strategically and sustainably,” – Oluwadamilola Amolegbe, Executive Secretary, KwaraETF.
Charles Nweke, co-founder and CEO of AlumUnite, also highlighted the critical role of institutional trust and strong structural frameworks in activating and sustaining meaningful alumni engagement. “Alumni are willing to give back, individually and institutionally, when there is clarity, accountability, and a strong institutional framework, which is what we offer. Partnering with KwaraETF allows us to connect alumni goodwill to real, verifiable impact in public schools, and to move alumni engagement from intention to action,” Charles said.
The collaboration aligns with KwaraETF’s broader strategy to diversify education funding sources, deepen community ownership of public schools, and build long-term systems that complement government investment. And, in good measure, advances AlumUnite’s mission to strengthen alumni-school relationships beyond reunions, translating shared identity into measurable social impact. The initial implementation will focus on pilot schools and alumni groups, with plans to scale statewide after testing and refinement. The partnership will also explore opportunities for mentorship programmes, career talks, and non-financial alumni contributions alongside funding support.
This initiative reinforces KwaraETF’s commitment to innovative public-private and community-driven partnerships that expand the resource base for quality education in Kwara State.
