For over 30 years, the Melajoom Foundation has been a beacon of hope, committed to transforming lives through education.
What began as an informal, family-led initiative to support learning and uplift students in Owo has grown into a structured Foundation focused on expanding access to quality education.
From scholarships to community outreach, we remain steadfast in our mission to empower individuals through learning and build stronger communities, one student at a time.
We provide financial support to deserving students pursuing higher education, focusing on indigenes of Owo Local Government Area.
Through mentorship and advisory support, we help students navigate their academic journey and make informed career choices.
We support local initiatives that promote learning—whether through book drives, school outreach, or community-led learning hubs.
“Touching lives through education is not just our vision—it is our reality. The Melajoom Foundation is the culmination of a dream shared with my elder brother, Pa H. Omotosho Adetula, to give back to society, support the education of children, and contribute to the well-being of our community. Together, we are making a difference.”
— Mr. Jimi Adetula, Founder & Chairman
At the Melajoom Foundation, our commitment to education is built on three foundational pillars:
We provide financial support to remove the barriers that prevent bright, underprivileged students from enrolling in higher education.
We nurture students beyond the classroom through mentorship, career guidance, and a caring community that helps them stay the course.
We invest in long-term educational uplift through community programs, partnerships, and scalable initiatives that leave a lasting impact.
For over three decades, the Melajoom Foundation has remained dedicated to uplifting lives through education. What began as a grassroots effort has evolved into a structured foundation that continues to support students from underserved backgrounds, particularly in the Owo Local Government Area and its surrounding areas.
We have walked alongside families, encouraged students to reach higher, and seen education unlock futures that once seemed unattainable.
Our impact is measured in stories: the first child in a family to attend university, the struggling student who found new purpose through mentorship, the community that rallied around a student’s dream.
As we look to the future, we remain committed to expanding opportunities, deepening our reach, and making every scholarship a seed of lasting change.
Together, we can create a world where no student is left behind.
At the Melajoom Foundation, we believe education is the bridge to a better future. Whether you’re a student in need, a community ally, or someone who simply believes in the power of learning, you have a role in this mission.
Let’s build something that lasts.
