Iyanya to launch foundation for orphans

Iyanya has announced the launch of his social responsibility project ’The Iyanya Foundation’, which will cater to orphans and less privileged members of society.

Iyanya says he’s hoping to use the NGO to help orphans across the country make their lives better because he's an orphan too.

See what he wrote on his Instagram page;

‘(I’m) One of the very few orphans that had the opportunity to become great and influential in the society through my music and with MTN giving me the platform through Project Fame. Not every talented boy/girl on the street today will be as fortunate as Iyanya. Through this Foundation, our drive is to help and establish as many orphans. ’

Iyanya has lost both parents and an only brother. He has a tattoo on his chest as a constant reminder of his deceased family members.
