The Worship for Change Foundation, a non-profit organisation, has donated the sum of N33 million to four schools dedicated to caring for children with disabilities.
The donation was made Tuesday at a ceremony in Lagos with the aim to empower the institutions and provide the much-needed support to the under privileged.
Each of the four schools – Joy in Africa Foundation (Asaba), Let Cerebral Palsy Kids Learn Foundation (Lagos), Seedo Initiative for Children With Special Needs (Abuja), and To Omo Re Centre for Special Empowerment (Ilorin) – received N8.25 million each.
The funds were raised through the Green Worship Benefit concert, at a star-studded event held on October 2nd, 2023, featuring renowned Nigerian gospel artists, Nathaniel Bassey, Tope Alabi, Cobhams Asuquo, and Waje.
Worship for Change has so far been able to raise N120m for 38 charities caring for thousands of orphans and children with special needs in Nigeria.
Wale Adenuga, Chief Responsibility Officer of Worship for Change and a gospel artist, emphasised the organisation’s unwavering commitment to supporting vulnerable children.
“Since 2004, I’ve been driven to use my platform to help indigent children, especially children with special needs,” he shared. “As we know, the special children’s needs are barely cared for and catered for in our present-day society. These children are special, and God cares deeply for them.”
Adenuga while using the opportunity to appreciate the individuals and corporate donors from Nigeria and all over the world for their contributions toward the success of the initiative thanked the planning team for their commitment for ensuring that life is better for special children across Nigeria.
