Our Mission
What We Do
When a member of the ExJAM community faces a serious medical emergency and cannot meet the cost, the Foundation steps in. We have been doing so since 2010.
Who We Are
ExJAMs Looking After ExJAMs
The Ex-Junior Airmen Humanitarian Foundation is a registered community organisation established in 2010 by alumni of the Air Force Military School (AFMS), Jos. We exist to stand beside members of the ExJAM community and their families in times of serious medical need — funded entirely by voluntary contributions from within the community.
The name carries the bond of AFMS: discipline, mutual care, and the understanding that service to one another does not end when training does.
To mobilise voluntary contributions from the ExJAM community and connect verified cases with sponsors across Nigeria and the diaspora — so that no ExJAM faces a medical crisis alone.
A community where every ExJAM and their family can count on the Foundation to stand with them — wherever they are, whatever the need.
How We Operate
Our Approach
Every programme follows the same three principles: verification, transparency, and direct disbursement.
Verified Need
Every case is reviewed by the Review Committee before it proceeds. No case is approved without documentation, verification of urgency, and assessment of cost.
Full Transparency
Every contributor receives a private acknowledgement. Financial summaries and case outcomes are reported to the Board and shared within the active membership.
Direct Disbursement
Funds are paid directly to hospitals, clinics, and service providers — never through the beneficiary. No cash passes through the patient.
What We Treat

How It Works
How We Work
Simple. Four steps. We handle the rest.
Patient & Family
The member or their next of kin shares the medical diagnosis, supporting records, and a treatment timeline. A sponsor who knows the patient — and is an active donor — submits the intake form on their behalf.
Documentation
The Review Committee assesses the submission: diagnosis, records, cost estimate, and budget limits. Independent clinical consultation is obtained where needed.
Decision
The Board reviews all information together — urgency, verified need, available resources, and treatment options. The sponsor is kept informed throughout.
Disbursement
Approved funds are paid directly to the hospital, clinic, or service provider. No cash passes through the patient. The sponsor monitors progress and receives outcome updates.
