Our History
MAKING EDUCATION FIRST
Established in 2015, with the mission and objective in Making Education First, Majora Education Foundation (MEF) was set up to equip, encourage, and empower Sabahan students to be the best they can be academically to ensure a better future for Sabah.
Prior to 2023 and in line with its objectives, MEF has been primarily engaged in programs to provide financial assistance for students from impoverished backgrounds who face challenges meeting the costs of pursuing their education. Other programs include study and holiday camps to promote self-development and teamwork at schools, hostels and kindergardens sponsorship and education funding for selected students under the approval of the Board of Trustees.

EDUCATION FIRST: FOR A BETTER TOMORROW
Currently, Majora Education Foundation (MEF) has embarked on three major programs, namely G-Effort (MEF’s signature program), GNA, and GNA2 in line with the programs’ theme of “making education first, for a better tomorrow”. All programs are designed to support and assist students who desire to pursue their education but who are unable to continue due to financial constraints.
The majority of MEF’s sponsored students and their families fall within the B40 (B1 and B3 groups) category and students must meet the eligibility and requirements of each respective program. MEF carefully selects and verifies each applicant for all programs and after screening, successful students will then go through a subsequent process of acquiring necessary documentation and acceptance of terms and conditions of assistance before the final process of distribution of aid.
