In a remarkable display of compassion, Afrobeats sensation Davido has once again stepped up to make a significant impact on the lives of the less fortunate. The multi-award-winning artist took to social media on Tuesday to announce his generous pledge of N300 million to orphanages across Nigeria, through the David Adeleke Foundation.
This philanthropic endeavor, marking an annual tradition for the ‘Timeless’ hitmaker, aims to contribute to the nation during these challenging times. Davido, aged 31, expressed his commitment to supporting the less privileged, emphasizing the importance of collective responsibility.
“I and my foundation pledge the sum of 300 million Naira to orphanages around Nigeria… as my yearly contribution to the Nation… details of disbursement tomorrow,” shared Davido in a heartfelt statement.
This isn’t the first time Davido has extended a helping hand. Back in November 2021, on his birthday, he launched a Twitter fundraiser that garnered N250 million, all of which was promptly donated to orphanages. The artist’s dedication to philanthropy continued in July of the same year, where he generously gave N237 million to various orphanage homes across Nigeria.
As the nation grapples with economic hardships, exacerbated by government policies under President Bola Tinubu, Davido’s benevolent act serves as a beacon of hope. The donation not only addresses immediate needs but also underscores the artist’s unwavering commitment to making a positive impact on society.
