Afrobeat singer, David Adeleke, better known as Davido, has released the list of 292 orphanages that benefitted from his N250 million donation.
Recall that the singer had requested that his friends and business associates send money to him to celebrate his birthday in November 2021.
This action garnered N200 million in less than a week and the singer also decided to add a donation of N50 million to it and promised to make the donation to orphanages.
On Tuesday, February 16, the singer revealed in a statement, stating that the money has been distributed to 292 homes.
Davido also thanked those who made the donation possible.
His statement reads, “As promised, a five-man disbursement committee was set up. Since its inauguration, the members of this committee have worked tirelessly to ensure that they collate the names and information of documented and verified orphanages.
“I am pleased to announce that the disbursement of funds is complete. So far, the total of N250,000,000 has been disbursed to 292 orphanages.
“As promised in my first statement, I have listed/attached the names and amounts disbursed to the various orphanages. In the spirit of transparency, I thought it wise to give you my loyal supporters, fans, friends and family an update in this regard.
“I would like to say a big thank you to everyone that made this possible, the committee of high calibre and principled people who dedicated their time to ensure this task was expeditiously carried out, my wonderful family, friends and well-wishers. Thank you for your continuous support and love.”
