Nigerian music superstar, David Adeleke, famously known as Davido, has reaffirmed his commitment to philanthropy by pledging ₦300 million to orphanages across Nigeria to celebrate his next birthday.
This announcement was made via his social media platform, showcasing the singer’s continuous dedication to supporting vulnerable children through his charity, the Davido Adeleke Foundation.
Founded in 2022, the foundation aims to improve the lives of disadvantaged children by providing financial aid and sustainable opportunities. This year’s donation will not only aid orphanages but also support organizations combating youth drug abuse and addiction.
Davido (31) expressed his intentions on Monday, stating, “Once again my birthday this year we Donating to orphanages and a charity that helps young people stay away from drug abuse & addiction. This year is ₦300m. Details to follow soon.”
This gesture marks an increase from his 2023 donation of ₦200 million, which benefited nearly 14,000 children. The artist first captured national attention for his philanthropy in 2021 when he raised ₦200 million through contributions from fans and friends and added an extra ₦50 million from his own funds to donate to orphanages.
In addition to his charitable efforts, Davido has recently released a new single, “Awuke,” and continues to make waves in both the entertainment and humanitarian sectors.
