For Mrs. Olajumoke Abegunde, touching lives and driving meaningful community development have never been mere aspirations but a lifelong calling. Over the years, she has remained unwavering in her commitment to humanitarian causes, firmly believing that the responsibility of uplifting the less privileged should not rest solely on government shoulders. This conviction has continued to inspire her extensive charitable engagements both within and beyond Nigeria.
As the founder of the Jummy I Care Foundation, Abegunde has positively impacted thousands through targeted interventions aimed at vulnerable groups. Her foundation has provided humanitarian relief materials and social support to over 3,000 widows and elderly citizens across Ondo State, while also extending care to orphaned and vulnerable children through various outreach initiatives.
Driven by a passion for women’s empowerment, she has facilitated economic opportunities for more than 5,000 women by supporting income-generating ventures and providing seed capital for small businesses. Through these interventions, many women have attained financial independence and entrepreneurial stability.
A graduate of Criminology and Security Studies from the National Open University of Nigeria, Abegunde has equally championed youth-focused programmes, sponsoring essay competitions, entrepreneurship contests and leadership workshops across Ondo State to inspire a new generation of changemakers.
