Tony Elumelu Family Donates ₦30 Million, Food Items To Three Lagos Orphanages

The Tony Elumelu family has extended its philanthropic efforts to support vulnerable children by donating ₦30 million and essential food items to three orphanages in Lagos. The donations, flagged off by Dr. Awele Elumelu, Chairperson of Avon Healthcare Limited and wife of Tony Elumelu, Chairman of the UBA Group, began at the Hearts of Gold Children’s Hospice, Surulere. 

Cablenews24 reports that the outreach also included donations to the Open Arms of Mercy Orphanage Home in Okota and the Atunda Olu Home, with each orphanage receiving:
– 33 cartons of Indomie Noodles
– 20 bags of rice
– 20 bags of beans
– 10 bags of sugar
– 10 cartons of milk
– 10 cartons of Milo
– ₦10 million

The financial contributions are intended to address specific needs identified by the homes, such as rent payments, surgeries, medical care, and other pressing requirements.

This Online News Medium understands that during the event, Dr. Awele Elumelu emphasized the family’s dedication to assisting vulnerable children across Nigeria.

“We recognize the ongoing needs of children in these homes. This initiative is part of our effort to provide both immediate relief and long-term support. Everyone has a role to play—whether through cash, kind, or time—to make a difference in the lives of these children.”

Mrs. Laja Adedoyin, Founder of the Hearts of Gold Children’s Hospice, expressed deep gratitude for the significant donations, describing the gesture as unprecedented in the hospice’s history.

“The magnitude of the foodstuff and financial support we received today is extraordinary. Food is life, and in today’s Nigeria, having food means having everything. This is the largest donation we have ever received, and we are overwhelmed with joy. We sincerely thank Dr. Awele Elumelu and the family for their generosity.”

Alero Ladipo, the Group Head of Marketing and Corporate Communications for UBA Bank, while highlighting the thoughtful planning behind the initiative, said: “We conducted surveys to understand the specific needs of each home. Beyond the food items, the ₦10 million for each orphanage is intended to address medical needs, rent, and other requirements such as diapers for the children.”
