Award-winning singer Davido has once again shown his commitment to philanthropy by donating generously to support those in need and uplift communities.
His charity, the David Adeleke Foundation, successfully supported over 500 orphanages across Nigeria this year.
This initiative fulfilled his promise to donate ₦300 million to organizations that provide shelter and care for motherless children while also helping young people stay away from drug abuse.
On his 32nd birthday in 2024, Davido made a bold pledge to use his influence and resources to make a lasting impact. He announced the donation in a heartfelt message, stating:
“Once again, my birthday this year, we are donating to orphanages and a charity that helps young people stay away from drug abuse and addiction. This year, it’s ₦300m. Details to follow soon.”
True to his word, Davido followed through. He took to social media to update his fans on the progress of his initiative. In a post on X, formerly Twitter, he wrote:
“My foundation was able to help over 500 motherless babies’ homes this year… we go again next year!”
His words carried a strong message of hope and determination. By emphasizing continuity, Davido reassured the public that his efforts would not stop there.
A history of giving
This is not the first time Davido has given back to society. Over the years, the Nigerian music star has built a reputation for generosity, using his platform to uplift others.
His charitable activities extend beyond orphanages. He has supported education, healthcare, and disaster relief efforts across the country.
In 2021, Davido made headlines when he raised over ₦200 million from fans and friends on social media and donated it all to orphanages.
At the time, he added ₦50 million of his own money to the fund, bringing the total to ₦250 million. The act won him widespread praise, proving that his philanthropy was more than just a one-time gesture.
This year’s ₦300 million donation surpasses his previous contributions, showing his continued commitment to making a difference.

A role model for giving back
Davido’s approach to charity sets an example for other celebrities and wealthy individuals. Instead of making occasional donations, he has structured his giving through the David Adeleke Foundation. This ensures that funds are distributed efficiently and reach those who need them most.
By focusing on orphanages and charities that combat drug abuse, he is tackling some of Nigeria’s most pressing social issues.
Millions of children grow up without parental care, and many vulnerable youths fall into addiction due to a lack of guidance and support.
Davido’s contributions help bridge these gaps, giving young people a chance at a better future.
The impact of ₦300 million
The scale of Davido’s donation cannot be overstated. ₦300 million can provide food, clothing, medical care, and education for thousands of children. Orphanages often struggle with limited resources, and donations like these keep their doors open.
Beyond financial aid, Davido’s involvement brings attention to the struggles of motherless children and at-risk youths.
His efforts encourage others to contribute, creating a ripple effect that extends beyond his donations.
Looking ahead
As the year comes to an end, he has already set his sights on the future. His message”we go again next year!”—suggests that his foundation will continue its mission.
With each passing year, his philanthropic footprint grows, proving that his generosity is not just a trend but a lifelong commitment.
Fans and followers have praised him for using his success to uplift others. In an industry where fame and wealth often lead to extravagance, Davido stands out as an artist who understands the power of giving.
As he prepares for another year of music and charity, one thing is clear: Davido’s influence extends far beyond the stage. Through his foundation, he is changing lives, one donation at a time.
