Singer Davido has just revealed to the world that he has donated the sum of N237 million to orphanages across Nigeria, through his foundation known as The David Adeleke Foundation (DAF).
Singer Davido made this known on Thursday 20th July 2023, on his official social media handle to millions of his fans.
He posted a statement from his foundation that reads:
“I am proud to announce that my foundation The David Adeleke Foundation (DAF) has donated the sum of N237,000,000 (Two hundred and Thirty-seven million naira) to orphanages throughout Nigeria. The distribution of donation funds was led by the chair of the DAF disbursement committee Mrs Titi Adebayo with the foundation successfully distributing funds to 424 (four hundred and twenty-four) orphanages, benefiting a total of 13818 (Thirteen thousand, eight hundred and eighteen) children.
I founded the DAF in 2022 with a strong desire and passion to continually assist others and create a proper framework for ongoing charitable works to benefit the good people of Nigeria. Through the foundation, we have raised millions of Naira and disbursed much-needed funds to hundreds of orphanages, significantly improving the lives of countless children.
Seeking the impact and success of my previous donations, particularly in 2021 after my birthday left a mark on my heart and reading the numerous letters and messages from everyone who received this donation has reaffirmed my commitment to continually assist the less privileged in any capacity. This motivated me to establish the DAF to execute our mission effectively.
In October 2022, the DAF began reaching out to eminent and compassionate Nigerians, seeking their support in raising funds for the less privileged across the country. Thanks to the generous contributions from individuals and corporations across various sectors and regions, the DAF was able to rate the substantial donation sum of N237m Naira.
I would like to personally thank all individuals and corporations that assisted in raising the donation sum, this would not have been possible without your unwavering support and kindness. May God bless each and every one of you.
The David Adeleke Foundation remains steadfast in its mission to uplift and support vulnerable communities across Nigeria.
Through initiatives like this significant donation to orphanages, the foundation continues to make a positive impact on the lives of those in need,” he said.
