Nigeria’s record holder in the men’s 200m, Divine Oduduru, has launched his Foundation in the country while reaching out to the needy in his community.

Sportinglife.ng reports that the Texas Tech University graduate visited several orphanages in Delta State, where he donated palliatives to the children in the homes through Divine Oduduru Foundation.

Apart from the orphanages, the four-time NCAA champion in American collegiate competition also visited a remand home in Sapele, as well as his former secondary school, West End Mixed Secondary School, Asaba.
Speaking on the reason for starting the foundation, the 24-year-old said growing up in Delta State; he was opportune to see children with no parents finding it difficult to achieve their targets in life with some of them unable to go to school.

“My foundation is really focusing on taking care of orphans who doesn’t have means of getting the better life they would have gotten if their parents were alive,” he said.
“At the moment, we have 18 children on the foundation’s scholarships, we are to provide education and good life for them.

“We are in a country where orphans are finding it difficult to enjoy and I am looking at how we can make them feel the love, the joy and happiness of every other child.

“We want to pick up children hawking on the streets, send them to school, those with no home to stay, provide accommodation for them, we are already putting up a structure where all these children will be staying and going to school from there.

“It didn’t stop at that, we are reaching out to the hospitals to help those who could not afford their bills, give hope to those that are hopeless and also reach out to the widows and those in remand homes across the country because we want a better future for all of them Oduduru said
