As part of activities marking World Orphans Day 2026, the Chadash Empowerment Foundation has commemorated the fifth edition of its yearly outreach with interventions in Abuja and Ogun State, including the construction of a N500 million orphanage home for JK’s Orphanage, donations exceeding N15 million to five orphanage homes and the distribution of food supplies to 350 orphans.
The two-day celebration, with the theme: “Building a World of Hope,” held recently, featured cash donations, full tertiary education scholarships for three students, the distribution of 192 school bags, as well as food items and essential provisions to support the children’s daily needs. In Ogun State, the outreach reached 258 children across five orphanage homes.
The Founder of Chadash Empowerment Foundation, Temitope Adeola, wife of the Ogun State All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola, popularly known as Yayi, said the yearly “outreach reflects the foundation’s commitment to ensuring that every child receives the love, care, support and opportunities needed to realise their potential.”
Adeola noted that access to education remained essential to personal development, independence and a better future, adding that the foundation would continue to implement meaningful interventions that address the needs of vulnerable children and create opportunities for them to rise above their present circumstances.
“Every child deserves the opportunity to dream, grow, and build a meaningful future, regardless of the circumstances surrounding their upbringing. Through this initiative, we are not only providing essential support but also reminding these children that they are loved, valued and never forgotten. We believe that building a world of hope begins with creating opportunities for every child to thrive,” she said.
Since its establishment in 2018, Chadash Empowerment Foundation has supported about 30 orphanage homes through donations, educational assistance, provision of basic facilities and skills acquisition programmes, while sustaining advocacy for the welfare and inclusion of vulnerable children through initiatives such as its 2025 World Orphans Day advocacy walk in Abuja.
