Veteran Nigerian filmmaker Omotola Jalade has pledged all producer earnings from her recent film Mother’s Love to Slum2School Africa, a charitable organization.

She revealed the commitment through a video statement detailing the film’s financial performance and the subsequent charitable transfer.

The production garnered over N103 million at the box office before industry deductions.

Once exhibitors, distributors, print costs, advertising expenses and various taxes including entertainment and withholding taxes were factored in, the amount retained by the production team totalled just over N22 million.

Jalade confirmed that this entire sum, consistent with Red Hot Concepts’ original pledge, went directly to the beneficiary organization.

The transfer was executed in July 2026, with the distributors facilitating payment to Slum2School Africa on the 7th of the month.
