Transforming Lives
Through Education
& Opportunity
Every child deserves a chance at a brighter future. Jomada Foundation provides scholarships, mentorship, and academic support to underprivileged children — giving them the tools to rise, regardless of circumstance.
A Foundation Built on Legacy & Love
JOMADA is more than an acronym — it is a living tribute. Named after the first two letters of three children: JOshua, MArgaret, and DAvid — it embodies the belief that every child's name matters.
Founded in honour of Sir Saturday Egbeye Korubo Fenny (an educationist of 45+ years) and Mrs. Sussanah Ibueribo Korubo, the Foundation carries forward a legacy of dedication to education. We believe that access to quality learning is not a privilege — it is a right every child deserves, regardless of their background or circumstance.
Our work spans scholarships, academic support, mentorship, and values-based character development — reaching children across Lagos State and Hull, UK.
