Concert For Change Disburses N55m To 5 Charities, Grows Funding by 50%

Concert for Change, a non profit organisation supporting orphans and children living with disabilities, has disbursed N55 million to five beneficiary organisations across Nigeria following the Green Worship 8 Benefit Concert.

The disbursement, announced in Lagos, represents a 49.66 per cent increase from last year’s N36.75 million, translating to an additional N18.25 million and marking nearly a 50 per cent year on year growth. The five beneficiary organisations are Comrade David Ofoeyeno School for Special Children, Warri; Marvelous Foundation Orphans Care Centre, Minna; Super Parent Foundation, Lagos; Hope Orphanage, Akure; and Learning Disabilities Society of Nigeria, Uyo.

Each organisation received N11 million to support infrastructure upgrades, acquisition of specialised equipment, therapy services, educational materials and other tangible interventions aimed at improving the wellbeing of vulnerable children under their care.

Speaking on the milestone, Managing Trustee of Concert for Change, Wale Adenuga, said “every year, we are reminded that compassion is still alive. This increase is not just a financial milestone, it is proof that individuals are willing to give sacrificially to support children who might otherwise be forgotten. Our commitment remains clear: transparency, measurable impact, and meaningful partnership with credible charities.”

The funds were raised through the Green Worship 8 Benefit Concert, an annual initiative designed to mobilise individuals, partners and communities to raise awareness and sustainable funding for frontline charities.

Concert for Change, formerly known as Worship for Change, has since inception raised over N200 million, supporting 49 charities and impacting thousands of vulnerable children across the country. Adenuga said the organisation has strengthened its accountability structures and adopted milestone based disbursement processes to ensure responsible stewardship of funds while expanding its reach.

He noted that by sustaining partnerships with credible charities and deepening donor engagement, Concert for Change remains focused on easing the burden on charitable organisations and creating lasting impact for underserved children across Nigeria.
