The Maitri Trust

The Maitri Trust believes that for society to truly thrive, every child must experience an education that unlocks their potential. Only then will all children be empowered to flourish and create prosperous, resilient communities.

To realise this vision, the consistent provision of quality education is crucial. The Maitri Trust supports partners working to overcome the complex challenges faced within primary school systems in India and South Africa. By improving education at this key early stage, we aim to set children up for better lifelong outcomes.

Founded by Stewart Investors in 2006, the Maitri Trust offers flexible, long-term grants. However, funding is just part of our story. More than philanthropic bystanders, we share the passion of our partners, supporting their journey with the full backing of our dedicated and experienced team. Working in partnership and collaboration with organisations who share our vision, we aim to transform education systems, creating lasting impact that provides all children with an equal chance to thrive.
