has raised funds for over 40 charities,
Worship For Change, a non-profit charity organization, has donated N36.75 million to six charities dedicated to caring for orphans and children with special needs across Nigeria.
The cheque presentation took place on Tuesday in Lagos, with each beneficiary receiving N6.125 million to support their mission.
The six recipients include Agbedare Jesus Care Foundation, Ibadan; Flora Trust Foundation, Lagos; Gilead Initiatives, Ikorodu; Bethesda School for the Blind, Lagos; Jesus Orphanage, Port Harcourt; and Gold Gate Mission, Michika.
Since its inception, Worship For Change has raised funds for over 40 charities, positively impacting the lives of vulnerable children and orphans nationwide.
Expressing his gratitude, the founder of Worship For Change, Wale Adenuga, acknowledged donors from Nigeria and around the world for their generosity.
“We are deeply thankful to everyone who has supported this initiative. Your generosity is transforming lives and giving hope to children who need it the most,” Adenuga said.
At the event, Chika Ugochukwu of Flora Trust Foundation highlighted the struggles faced by children with severe disabilities.
“These children require 24-hour care, and the funds will help us expand our facilities and provide essential assistive devices like wheelchairs and feeding tubes,” she said.
“Our goal is to ensure these children live independent lives and become contributing members of society. This donation will go a long way in providing therapy, education, and vocational training for them.”
Mrs. Agbedare Beatrice Adenike of Agbedare Jesus Care Foundation in Ibadan described the donation as a divine intervention.
“It’s like a dream come true. This donation will help us provide better care for the children, including those with cerebral palsy, and expand our facilities to accommodate more children in need,” she said.
The event underscored the importance of supporting orphans and children with special needs, who are often marginalized in society. As Adenuga emphasized, “Every child deserves a chance to thrive, regardless of their circumstances. Together, we can make a lasting impact and bring hope to those who need it most.”
All six beneficiaries expressed their gratitude and pledged to use the funds to improve the lives of the children under their care.
The donation was made possible through the proceeds of Worship For Change’s Green Worship Concert, which held its seventh edition on October 1, 2024, at the Balmoral Convention Centre, Sheraton Hotel, Ikeja.
The event featured powerful performances by Nathaniel Bassey, AnEndlessOcean, Legendary US gospel singer Bob Fitts, and Nosa, among others, with the aim of raising funds to support children in need.
