Florence who recently completed her graduate studies at Oxford, has announced a gift of £100,000 (N58M) to the Africa Oxford Initiative (AfOx) to support African graduate students at Oxford.
DJ Cuppy’s philanthropic endeavours will support a variety of organisations that work to address important issues, including child protection and education for females and people with disabilities.

In a statement, Cuppy proudly announced that the Cuppy Africa Oxford Scholars Fund will support current and future African graduate students at Oxford University.
“Having just graduated with an MSc degree in African Studies myself, I saw first-hand the variances in university life experiences for students originating from my continent, Africa. The fundamental role that the Cuppy Fund will play is to narrow resource gaps for those who need it the most, so they can fully commit to pursuing the education they deserve. The opportunity to study at Oxford is an accomplishment, but one that is fully realised when you are able to complete your course.”
Sharing the good news on her Instagram feed, the Oxford alumna announced that she was proudly launching the “Cuppy Africa Oxford Fund.”
