Let’s live for humanity. The best TGIF of the month of September yesterday 9th where I was invited by the HOPE FOR SURVIVAL ORPHANAGE which is one of the homes where @tontodikehfoundation picks enrolment of kids annual Educational Scholarship Scheme (ESS).

The visit and invitation as a Special Guest afforded me great opportunity to Commission the renovated building by the Stanbic IBTC. Witnessing this event gave me hope for the future of our African kids, organisations and institutions should support such initiative. This is what I live for, let’s join hands to do more for the less privileged and minorities in the society.

The TONTO DIKEH FOUNDATION is set to start the school fees payment of the first 1,000 recipient of the #TONTODIKEHFOUNDATIONBACKTOSCHOOLPROJECT. Education is our Watch word and we believe every child deserves the RIGHT TO QUALITY EDUCATION. God bless you all for encouraging and supporting
