The Perivoli Schools Trust was established by the Perivoli Trust and funded by the Perivoli Foundation. Perivoli Foundation is funded by the Perivoli Trust and also by Perivoli Innovations, a technology venture fund. James Alexandroff was appointed as the settlor of the Perivoli Trust. He co-founded Singapore-based emerging markets investment management firm Arisaig Partners in 1996 and donated his one third share to the Perivoli Trust in 1999.[2]
Maya Kafuwa and her husband Titan Madomba are the current joint CEOs of the Perivoli Schools Trust.[3][4]

More than 13,000 nursery school teachers have received training through the work of the trust, reaching more than 320,000 children. Perivoli Schools Trust set targets of training more than 200,000 teachers and five million children.[6]
