Nigeria's 'Concert for Change' Delivers N55M to Charities, Fund Growth Soars 50%!

Concert for Change, a dedicated non-profit organization committed to aiding orphans and children living with disabilities, has successfully disbursed N55 million to five deserving beneficiary organizations across Nigeria. This significant allocation follows the success of the Green Worship 8 Benefit Concert, their annual fundraising initiative.

Announced in Lagos, this year's disbursement marks a substantial increase compared to the previous year. The N55 million represents a remarkable 49.66 percent surge from last year's N36.75 million, equating to an additional N18.25 million. This translates to nearly a 50 percent year-on-year growth, highlighting the growing support for their cause.

The five organizations selected to receive these crucial funds are: Comrade David Ofoeyeno School for Special Children in Warri, Marvelous Foundation Orphans Care Centre in Minna, Super Parent Foundation in Lagos, Hope Orphanage in Akure, and Learning Disabilities Society of Nigeria in Uyo. Each of these vital organizations received an equal share of N11 million.

These funds are earmarked for a range of critical interventions aimed at significantly improving the wellbeing of vulnerable children under their care. Specifically, the N11 million allocated to each will support essential infrastructure upgrades, the acquisition of specialized equipment, crucial therapy services, provision of educational materials, and other tangible projects designed to create a lasting positive impact.

Wale Adenuga, Managing Trustee of Concert for Change, reflected on this milestone, stating, "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 meticulously raised through the Green Worship 8 Benefit Concert, an annual event designed to galvanize individuals, partners, and communities. Its primary objective is to raise both awareness and sustainable funding for frontline charities working directly with vulnerable children.

Since its inception, Concert for Change, formerly known as Worship for Change, has demonstrated a profound commitment to its mission. The organization has successfully raised over N200 million in total, extending support to 49 charities and positively impacting thousands of vulnerable children throughout Nigeria.

To ensure responsible stewardship and expand its reach, Mr. Adenuga emphasized that the organization has significantly strengthened its accountability structures. They have also adopted rigorous milestone-based disbursement processes. By sustaining robust partnerships with credible charities and continually deepening donor engagement, Concert for Change remains steadfastly focused on alleviating the burdens faced by charitable organizations and fostering lasting positive change for underserved children across the nation.
