Afrobeats star, David Adeleke, also known as Davido, has announced his intention to give N300 million to orphanages across the country through his foundation, the David Adeleke Foundation (DAF).
He said this is his yearly donation to the nation.
The singer posted on his X handle that he will reveal how the fund will be shared on Wednesday.
“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,” he wrote.
Remember that in 2023, the ‘Unavailable’ singer did the same thing by giving N237m to some orphanages in the country.
The singer said in a statement that he gave the money to 424 orphanages in Nigeria.
“I am proud to announce that my foundation. The David Adeleke Foundation (DAF), has donated the sum of N237,000,000.00 (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 13,818 (Thirteen Thousand. Eight Hundred, and Eighteen) children,” he wrote.
Also, in 2021 on his Instagram page, he asked his friends and fans to help him for his 29th Birthday on November 21 by giving him N1 million each. He said he had always helped others and wanted them to do the same for him.
In the first 10 minutes after he said this on his Insta stories, the singer got N7 million and said he wanted to get N100 million.
Some days later, he said he got N200,000,000 from the donation.
He also gave N50,000,000 from his own money to make it N250,000,000 and said he would use this money to help orphanages in Nigeria.
The “David Adeleke Foundation was founded 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 this foundation, we have raised millions of Naira and disbursed much-needed funds to hundreds of orphanages, significantly improving the lives of countless children,” he wrote.
