About
Brains & Butter is a niche educational consultancy committed to placing African children in the right British boarding schools, where they will thrive academically, socially, and culturally. Founded in 2016 under the leadership of Dr. Alo Ohio-Omonkhomion, we have evolved from a guardianship service into a respected advisory firm with strong relationships across 80+ UK boarding schools, with over 40 successful student placements, and 1,200+ families reached across Africa and the diaspora.
This maiden onsite edition, which also marks our 10th year anniversary theme The Metamorphosis, represents a defining moment for both our journey and the growing aspirations of African families who are intentionally investing in global education, long-term planning, and intergenerational advancement.
Over the years, Brains & Butter has become a trusted educational powerhouse with measurable impact:
• 10+ years of consistent advisory in UK education.
• Strong partnerships with top UK schools and universities.
• Hundreds of successful student placements.
• Thousands of elite families supported through webinars, fairs, and counselling.
• High digital engagement across platforms.
We continue to transform the academic and global trajectories of young Africans.
