This marks another milestone in Davido’s philanthropic efforts, as the award-winning artist has consistently used his platform and wealth to support vulnerable communities, especially orphans and at-risk youth. It’s not the first time the artist has made a huge contribution to foster homes in Nigeria.

Earlier this year, Davido announced a ₦300 million donation to orphanages across the country in February, reinforcing his commitment to improving the lives of children in need.

The singer’s charitable donations have become a key feature of his birthday celebrations. In November 2021, Davido made headlines by donating ₦250 million to 292 orphanages across Nigeria for his 29th birthday.

In July 2023, he donated ₦237 million to over 400 orphanages in a similar effort to support orphaned and vulnerable children.
