A Holistic Model for Lasting Change

At Jomada Foundation, we believe that true transformation requires more than a single intervention. Our five interconnected programs work together to address every dimension of a child's educational journey — from removing financial barriers to building character, confidence, and career vision. We don't just open doors; we walk through them alongside every child we serve.

Every Program, a Promise

01

Program 01

Education Access

Financial barriers should never determine a child's future. Our Education Access program eliminates the most common obstacles that keep underprivileged children out of school — ensuring that every child, regardless of economic background, has the full resources they need to attend, participate, and succeed.

  • School fees covered for primary and secondary students
  • Textbooks, stationery, and learning materials provided
  • School uniforms and essential supplies distributed
  • Ongoing assessment to identify and address new barriers
Target: Primary & Secondary School Children

Program 02

Academic Support

Getting into school is only the first step. Our Academic Support program ensures every child doesn't just attend — but actually learns, improves, and builds the confidence to excel. We pair students with qualified educators in structured, nurturing environments designed to spark curiosity and close the achievement gap.

  • Regular tutoring sessions in core subjects
  • Structured study groups for peer learning
  • Qualified educators providing personalised coaching
  • Progress tracking and tailored academic improvement plans
Focus: Performance & Confidence Building

Mentorship

Every child deserves a trusted adult who believes in them. Our Mentorship program connects young people with accomplished professionals who volunteer their time, wisdom, and lived experience. Through genuine relationships, children gain life skills, career awareness, and the personal development they need to navigate the world with confidence.

  • 1-on-1 pairing with professional mentors across diverse fields
  • Group mentorship sessions and peer-to-peer learning circles
  • Life skills workshops: communication, goal-setting, resilience
  • Career awareness and future-planning guidance
Approach: 1-on-1 & Group Sessions

Program 04

Character Development

Academic excellence alone is not enough. We invest deeply in shaping the whole child — their values, their character, and their sense of responsibility to others. Our values-based workshops and community service initiatives cultivate the moral foundation that will guide our children throughout their lives and into leadership.

  • Values-based workshops exploring integrity, empathy & resilience
  • Leadership development activities and team challenges
  • Community service projects that build social responsibility
  • Creative arts, sport, and cultural enrichment activities
Values: Integrity · Empathy · Resilience · Leadership

  • Ongoing pastoral support throughout the scholarship period
Scope: Primary · Secondary · Higher Education

Eligibility & Who We Reach

Our programs are designed with one purpose: to reach the children who need support the most. We prioritise children facing genuine hardship, ensuring our resources create the greatest possible impact.

  • Primary target: Underprivileged children in Lagos State, Nigeria
  • Children from widowed and single-parent families facing financial hardship
  • Candidates with demonstrated academic potential or genuine financial need
  • Also serving children in Hull, United Kingdom — bridging communities across borders
  • Applications reviewed periodically by the board to ensure fair, thorough assessment
Geographic Focus

Lagos State, Nigeria is our primary operating area. We are also actively supporting vulnerable children in Hull, United Kingdom, extending our reach and impact across two nations.

Academic Criteria

We look for children who show genuine potential and motivation — students who, with the right support, could truly flourish. No child is turned away solely on the basis of grades.

Financial Need

Demonstrated financial need is a key consideration. We give priority to children from the most economically vulnerable households, including those headed by single parents or widows.

Application Cycles

Applications are reviewed on a periodic basis by our board of trustees. We encourage families to apply early and to reach out via WhatsApp or email with any questions about timing.
