NGO, Worship For Change, Donates N36.7m To Charity

Worship for Change, a non-profit charity organisation, has donated N36.75 million to six charities dedicated to caring for orphans and children with special needs across Nigeria.

The donation and presentation of cheques took place in Lagos recently, with each of the six beneficiaries receiving N6.125 million to support their work and endeavour.

The beneficiaries of this donation are Agbedare Jesus Care Foundation, Ibadan; Flora Trust Foundation, Lagos; Gilead Initiatives, Ikorodu; Bethesda School for the Blind, Lagos; Jesus Orphanage, Port Harcourt; and Gold Gate Mission, Michika.

Since its inception, Worship For Change has raised funds for over 40 charities, impacting the lives of vulnerable children and orphans nationwide.

Wale Adenuga, the founder of Worship For Change, expressed his gratitude to all donors who contributed to this cause, both from Nigeria and worldwide.  “We are deeply thankful to everyone who has supported this initiative. Your generosity is transforming lives and giving hope to children who need it the most,” Adenuga said.

Speaking at the event, Chika Ugochukwu of the Flora Trust Foundation in Lagos highlighted the challenges faced by children with severe disabilities.

“These children require 24-hour care, and the funds will help us expand our facilities and provide essential assistive devices like wheelchairs and feeding tubes,” Ugochukwu said. We aim to ensure these children live independently and become contributing members of society. This donation will go a long way in providing therapy, education, and vocational training for them”.

Another beneficiary, Mrs Agbedare Beatrice Adenike of the Agbedare Jesus Care Foundation in Ibadan, expressed her heartfelt gratitude to the team and board of trustees and described the donation as divine intervention.

“It’s like a dream come true. This donation will help us provide better care for the children, including those with cerebral palsy, and expand our facilities to accommodate more needy children,” she said.
