Concert for Change disburses N55m to support orphans, children with disabilities

Concert for Change, a non-profit organisation dedicated to 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 beneficiary organisations 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 the Learning Disabilities Society of Nigeria in Uyo.

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

The total disbursement of N55 million represents a 49.66 percent increase from last year’s N36.75 million, translating to an additional N18.25 million in funding. The near 50 percent year-on-year growth underscores rising donor support and the expanding reach of the initiative.

Wale Adenuga, managing Trustee of Concert for Change, who spoke at a forum in Lagos, described the milestone as evidence of sustained compassion and growing public commitment to vulnerable children.

“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,” he said.

The funds were raised through the Green Worship 8 Benefit Concert, an annual platform that mobilises individuals, corporate partners and communities to generate awareness and sustainable funding for frontline charities.

Since its inception, when it operated under the name Worship for Change, Concert for Change has raised more than N200 million, supporting 49 charities and positively impacting thousands of vulnerable children across the country.

The organisation said it has continued to strengthen its accountability structures and implement milestone-based disbursement processes to ensure responsible stewardship of funds while broadening its national impact.

Concert for Change said it remains committed to easing the burden on charitable organisations and delivering lasting impact, one child at a time.
