PROBLEM STATEMENT/GOALS/TARGET

All fingers are not equal. This is the natural order of life but only a reprobate minded fellow would disregard the potential of the shortest finger and unfortunately this is the case

Hence, creating the platform for harnessing the potentials of the children of the lower class in our society is our goal. Our focus area is Idimu district of Lagos which is in the Alimosho Local Government Area in the Ikeja Division, Lagos State, Nigeria.

It is the largest local government in Lagos with 1,277,714 inhabitants according to the official 2006 Census (however, the Lagos State Government disputes the official Census figures and claims a population within the LGA of more than 2 million residents)

A SYNOPSIS ON OUR FOUNDATION Benjamin Mildred Adinlewa foundation also known as MILBEN

Foundation was founded by the children of Chief Benjamin and Chief Mrs Mildred Adinlewa.

Late Chief Adinlewa was the 1st graduate of Akure, Ondo state and was also the 1st principal of Oyemekun Grammer School in Akure. He was a fervent educationist who was passionate about good education for the poor. He set up a 40 archer private school for his beloved wife to cater to the poor which she called “Commercial School” in Akure, Ondo state but unfortunately the military regime of Obasanjo collected the school. Even at that, the educationist spirit never died, instead it moved to Lagos to fullfill an even larger purpose and that ,it has gradually been doing since 2009 when the foundation bought out the school from it’s previous owners and began its reformation.
