Davido Gives Back: N300 Million Donation to Charity on His Birth
Written by MAX FM on November 21, 2024
Nigerian music star Davido has fulfilled a major birthday promise, donating a generous sum of N300 million to charitable causes across Nigeria. The donation, announced on his 32nd birthday, November 21, 2024, aims to support vulnerable groups in society, including orphanages and organizations that help young people avoid drug abuse.
Earlier in the month, Davido had shared his intentions on social media platform X, where he made a public commitment to donate the funds to orphanages and charity homes focused on youth rehabilitation. True to his word, the donation is being channelled through his foundation, the Davido Adeleke Foundation (DAF), which has long been involved in a variety of charitable projects. In a statement released on his social media pages, Davido expressed his belief in the power of giving back, explaining that the funds would go toward initiatives that bring hope and support to communities in need.
The donation supports various causes, with a significant portion going to orphanages and centres that work to combat drug addiction and its harmful effects on youth. This generous act not only supports children in need but also raises awareness about the growing issue of substance abuse among young Nigerians.
Davido’s philanthropic gesture has drawn widespread praise, with many fans and followers expressing admiration for his commitment to making a positive impact in society. While some had initially doubted his dedication to charity work, this move cemented his status as a devoted philanthropist, following a history of similar charitable contributions. Through this donation, Davido has once again demonstrated that his influence extends beyond music, with a sincere desire to bring meaningful change to the lives of others.
