The Fademi Jacobson Foundation was set up to focus on three key areas of humanitarian service to Nigeria, the Sub –Saharan region, and the World beyond. The three key units of the foundation started with are;
- Child Education and support (Orphanages, IDP camps and Remand Homes)
- Women Empowerment
- Relief for Victims of War and Internally Displaced People (IDPs)
In January 2018, the foundation had a restructuring and it decided to re-focus the organization’s resources towards two key areas of humanitarian support. The foundation decided to tackle education challenges in the country. The future of Nigeria and Africa at large depends on how well educated the children are, and the current rate of child education in the country is quite discouraging. The organization also decided to support more women in the strife for financial independence of women in Africa, especially in the rural areas. The revamped unit of the foundation are;
- Children Support: This includes academic and welfare supports to kids in poor families, orphanages, and Remand home and Correctional facilities.
- Women Empowerment: This includes support to women in rural areas in developing themselves through approved business and development models by the foundation.
