Since 2003, SJF has supported more than Twenty (20) projects under various initiatives and intervention programs in several communities in Nigeria. Upon this persuation and successful outcomes of a larger number of these projects; it became imperative to establish a veritable structure to manage the resourceful and inspiring project ideas of the foundation's visionaries.
More so, countless collaborations on education and health initiatives with revered African NGOs such as: Global Initiative for Peace, Love and Care (GIPLC); Lifeline Care Association (LCA); We can Lead; Teenagers Growing Business Club (TGBC); HELP and Ken Saro Wiwa Foundation created a strong case for harnessing SJF partnership networks to amplify its root objective that "Africa's children and youth have access to a great future that will influence perceptions about the continent for the better".
Thus; 2014 saw SJF officially opening its doors to direct community engagements and advocacy. The full scope development of SJF programs ensued with its Education Development Program (EDP) taking the lead upon the advent launch of Egbe School's Initiative in Yagba West Local Government Area of Kogi State.
SJF has since then grown its network of partners and volunteers by 8% and have given grants of over fifteen Million naira in support of 'girl child' eduaction; infrastructural development, Youth ICT education empowerment and health.
