Education

Since 2020 NMF has funded full bursaries for girls from low-income families at Putney High School. It also supports the school's own charity, Friends of Putney High School, which opens the school's facilities to children from the local community. The Foundation believes a first-class education should not depend on what a family can afford, and has funded scholarships at many schools across the UK to help them welcome a wider range of pupils.

Most families in Mbale have fled conflict, in this generation or the last. Few children go on to secondary school. With Spotlight on Africa, NMF has built school facilities with boarding houses, sports facilities and IT centres. It has also built and funded schools in the Namatala slum and two independent IT centres.

In 2023 NMF commissioned 'Game Changer', a report by the Centre for Social Justice on how sport can transform young lives. Its central proposal is a Right to Sport, with more time for sport each week for every secondary pupil. BoxWise was one case study among many conducted by a board of the UK's leading experts in youth work, education and lived experience of lives changed by sports. The report was welcomed across the sport for development sector, including by Coach Core and the Youth Sport Trust.

The Bahamas Boxing Academy has a homework room and a computer centre. Its dormitories house students from the Family Islands who come to Nassau to train, to study and to broaden their horizons. Meanwhile the Bahamas-UK Sports Academy works with schools on both sides of the Atlantic to boost youth sports and so often the educational benefits that accompany that.
