Worship for Change, a not-for-profit organisation, has donated N36.75 million to six charity organisations that care for orphans and children with special needs. The donation was made possible through the Green Worship 7 Benefit Concert held in 2024 and the subsequent ’21 Days of Giving’ initiative.

According to Worship for Change founder, Wale Adenuga, “Our mission is to raise awareness and funding for charities that care for orphans and children with special needs across Nigeria. We raised N6.125 million to each beneficiary from the concert and the initiative.”

The six charities that received the donations were Bethesda School for the Blind in Lagos, Gilead Initiatives in Ikorodu, Flora’s Trust Foundation in Lagos, Jesus Orphanage in Port Harcourt, Gold Gate Rural Mission in Adamawa, and Agbedare Jesus Care Foundation in Ibadan.

Adenuga explained that the organisations select beneficiary organisations from across the country by receiving applications, recommendations, or making direct enquiries. “We try to see how we can get people across the country. So we have beneficiaries from States like Adamawa, Port Harcourt, and about two or three of them from Lagos,” he said.

The beneficiaries are required to sign agreements pledging to spend the money only on projects that benefit the children in their charities. “For instance, let’s take the Bethesda School of the Blind. They said they are buying Braille materials. So there has to be something tangible. They’re not using it to pay allowances or salaries. There has to be something tangible,” Adenuga stated.

The beneficiaries expressed gratitude to the organisation, sharing their stories and pledging to put the money to good use. Pastor Mighty Frank, who represented his wife and founder of Jesus Orphanage, Port Harcourt, thanked Adenuga and pledged to use the money to start a building project for the orphanage.

“With this support, we are going to start something on that plot. I appreciate Pastor Wale and the Green Worship Team for this great support. In fact, this means a lot to us,” Frank declared.

Another beneficiary, Pastor James Tumba, founder of Gold Gate Rural Mission, pledged to use the donation money to renovate the orphanage’s facilities and pay the outstanding school fees of the children under his organisation.

“On behalf of the members of the Board of Trustees, staff, and orphan children of Gold Gate Missions, I wish to say a sincere thank you to the members of the Board of Trustees, Wale Adenuga, and all the members of staff for this great touch and for this great support,” Tumba said.

“We trust God to renovate the place and give them a better place to stay. We also have a burden regarding their school fees. Because we put them in private school, their school fees have been a burden on my heart, and God has shown forth. I want to say a big thank you.
