In Nigeria, we have so many celebrities who engage in other activities asides acting, singing or dancing. They earn a lot of money, yet have the time to give back to the society.

These celebrities have large hearts, and so many people have benefited from their good deeds.

Moreover, we have celebrities who are moms and have to juggle their parenting with their voluntary work. We’re more than impressed with their ability to take care of their immediate family and the society.

Here are 5 female celebrities who are philanthropists:

1. Omoni Oboli

In 2012, Nollywood actress, Omoni Oboli launched her foundation known as the ‘Omoni Oboli foundation’ as an initiative to help the less privilege, abandoned children and defenseless pregnant women. She also partnered with an NGO called ‘Child Lifeline’ which cares for street children and provides food and shelter for them.

In addition, during the 2019 Nigerian elections over the weekend, the Nollywood star impressed fans by volunteering to organize voters at VGC, Lagos.

2. Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde

The mother of four owns a charity foundation called ‘Omotola Youth Empowerment Programme’ (OYEP) which hosts orphans and widows in several ways.

3. Mercy Johnson

Through the ‘Mercy Johnson foundation’, this mother of three donates to those who are hungry in the society and also helps kids to get back to school.
