Support. Educate. Impact

Driving Change Through Educational Opportunities

Our foundation is driven by the belief that education is a powerful catalyst for change and that every student deserves the chance to succeed.

Transforming Lives Through Educational Support

Education is the fundamental right of all Nigerians.

Deola Ajayi Educational Foundation is a registered charity offering financial support to the underprivileged
young people who are currently enrolled in schools, either high school or University. By providing essential
resources, such as school supplies, high quality books, and developmental tools, as well as funding for
innovative educational programs and initiatives to strengthen the education profession, the education
foundation ensures that every student has the support they need to succeed academically and personally.
The education foundation collaborates with educators, businesses, and the community to bridge gaps in
education, promote equity, and empower students to reach their full potential, ultimately fostering a stronger,
more vibrant community. The foundation was established by Mr. Adeola Ajayi-Philips, an IT professional.

Our Mission

Our mission is to transform the educational landscape by providing resources, support, and opportunities to students who face significant barriers to success. We are dedicated to fostering an environment where every child can achieve their full potential, regardless of their background or circumstances.

Our Vision

We envision a world where educational equity is a reality, and every student has access to the tools and support needed to excel. By addressing critical challenges in education and empowering communities, we aim to create a brighter and more inclusive future for all.

Be Part of the Change. Empower, Educate, Elevate

The Foundation’s objective is to promote education (including social and physical training) of young people
registered in institutions of learning within Nigeria. The principal aims are to support young people who are in
full-time education, higher institutions of learning and when sufficient funds are available, to support local
voluntary grounds providing recreational and social activities. We actively support young people across a wide
range of organizations and activities within our geographical reach.

“Education is the fundamental right of all Nigerians. Educating the youths is the key to the solutions to some of the most pressing challenges in Nigeria. It is the responsibility of all concerned to help save our nation from the gradual deterioration of education leading to the core challenges we face today. We can all do this together!”

Why the YOUTHS

Education plays a transformative role in addressing the challenges faced by youth by equipping them with the tools they need to navigate and overcome difficulties. Here are several ways education can be leveraged to address common challenges faced by young people.

  • Equipping Students for Career and Life Success: Education should focus on practical skills like financial literacy, vocational training, career counseling, and providing access to resources to close achievement gaps and reduce unemployment.
  • Supporting Mental and Social Well-being: Schools should promote mental health education, offer emotional support systems, and teach stress management. Social skills, inclusivity, and civic engagement should be emphasized to build empathy, resilience, and community responsibility.
  • Ensuring Equity and Health for All: Policies must ensure equitable access to education and support for vulnerable groups. Teaching about health, promoting physical activity, and building adaptability prepares students for a balanced, healthy life.
