Orphanages Laud Davido For Donating N300 Million
The Coalition of Orphanages and Children’s Homes in Nigeria (COCHIN) has appreciated Davido, the Afrobeats star, for his financial support.
In February, Davido donated N300 million to orphanage homes across Nigeria, adding that the gesture is part of his annual contribution to the nation.
In a statement on Thursday, COCHIN said 42 out of the 52 orphanage homes under the coalition have benefitted from the funds.
The coalition hailed Davido for his support, adding that his “commitment to loving these forgotten Nigerian children will go a very long way in making a profound impact in their lives”.
“Our heartfelt appreciation for your financial support to the Coalition of Orphanages and Children’s Homes in Nigeria (COCHIN),” the statement reads in part.
“In reference to the above, we write on behalf of the above association (the umbrella body of Orphanages and Children’s Homes in Nigeria), to acknowledge the receipt of your support funds to our members across the country in the month of February 2024.

“We are pleased to inform you that a total of 42 orphanages out of the 52 under the coalition benefitted from the funds support.
“Permit me to therefore extend our (COCHIN’s) sincere and deepest gratitude for this generous support. We are very happy to note that no other Nigerian has ever done this for the orphanages, neither has the governments given us such a magnanimous support before. This support which is a demonstration of your commitment to social responsibility and loving care to these forgotten Nigerian children will go a very long way in making profound impact in their lives. These less privileged children and orphans are grateful that you have done this for them as well as inspiring those of us who are the managers in the implementation of sustainable caregiving initiatives generally.
“While assuring you of our dedication at ensuring judicious use of the resources, we exercise no doubt that you will continue to be a beacon of hope for the less privileged.
“Do accept the warm regards of our highest esteem May our God increase you in every aspect and grant you good health.”
Davido embarked on the philanthropic gesture in November 2021 — on his birthday.
The ‘Timeless’ hitmaker launched a Twitter fundraiser and donated the N250 million realised to orphanages.
In July last year, the Afrobeats star also gave N237 million to various orphanage homes across Nigeria.
Davido went on to reaffirm his commitment to assist the less privileged in any capacity continually.
