Concert for Change has announced the disbursement of N55 million to five charities supporting orphans and children living with disabilities across Nigeria.
The funds were raised at the Green Worship 8 Benefit Concert and will be shared equally among the beneficiary organisations. Each will receive N11 million.
The beneficiaries are 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.
According to the organisation, the funds will support infrastructure, specialised equipment, therapy services, educational resources and other direct interventions for children in their care.
This year’s disbursement represents a 49.66 per cent increase from last year’s N36.75 million. The N18.25 million increase marks nearly 50 per cent growth year on year.
Speaking on the milestone, Wale Adenuga, managing trustee of Concert for Change, said: “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.”
Concert for Change, formerly known as Worship for Change, says it has raised over N200 million since inception. The initiative has supported 49 charities and impacted thousands of vulnerable children across Nigeria.
The organisation operates through benefit concerts, donor engagement and partnerships, with a focus on accountability and milestone based disbursement. It says it remains committed to easing the burden on charitable homes and expanding support for children with disabilities and those without parental care across the country.
