About Us
The Jumoke Arogundade Foundation (JA) is a non-governmental organization established in 2021 by Jumoke Arogundade and based in Lagos, Nigeria. The foundation is dedicated to advancing the sustainable development goals (SDGs) set by the United Nations, addressing a wide range of social, economic, and environmental challenges. The initiatives of the foundation encompass SDGs 1, 2 and 4 focusing on eradicating poverty and eliminating hunger, as well as promoting access to quality education, providing skill acquisition training, and advocating for equal opportunity for all.
Since its establishment, the foundation has undertaken a multitude of projects. These include impactful programs such as School Outreach initiatives, community sensitization campaigns, visits to widows and physically challenged individuals in Nigerian communities, and the provision of food and financial assistance. The efforts of the organization also extend to both online and offline campaigns addressing pressing social issues.
To mark the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, the foundation organized an outreach program with the theme 'Empowering Futures, One Lesson at A Time' on October 18th, 2023, at Elemere Community Secondary School, Kwara state. The event focused on enlightening students about the significance of education, early career planning, skill acquisition, and life advice.
Additionally, they provided notebooks, pens, and other essential items to all the students in the school. Notably, the foundation granted full WAEC and JAMB scholarships to the best students in the school and two other exceptional students.
In honor of World Humanitarian Day in 2024, the foundation distributed food palliatives to over 50 vulnerable individuals in the Yaba area of Lagos state while advocating for increased support for humanity.
Looking ahead, the foundation is committed to making even more significant contributions in the days to come.

Her strong sense of altruism and dedication to the well-being of humanity has always been a driving force in her life. She firmly believes that the establishment of this organization marks a significant stride towards creating a society that embraces and cares for all its members.
Jumoke Arogundade is deeply convinced that numerous pressing issues within society require solutions, and by aligning with this foundation, she aims to provide substantial and invaluable support to the existing NGOs within Nigerian communities.
From her perspective, her African upbringing has profoundly influenced her actions, and the environment in which she grew up has been a pivotal source of motivation and inspiration for her involvement with the organization. Jumoke Arogundade derives immense fulfillment from bringing joy to people's lives. Moreover, she keenly recognizes the urgent need to extend assistance to underprivileged individuals in Nigerian communities.

Jumoke Arogundade finds this reality deeply troubling and firmly believes that assuming responsibility for aiding these communities through the implementation of impactful programs will bring about an amelioration of their circumstances. She remains optimistic that this gradual process, coupled with widespread societal responsibility, will eventually culminate in the transformation of our society into a better place for all its inhabitants.
