Nollywood actress Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde has received two social impact honours after donating the entire producer’s earnings from her film Mother’s Love to support the education of children from underserved communities.
The actress said the decision was inspired by her desire to support children in communities such as Makoko, one of the film’s locations.
Omotola said she did not anticipate the impact the gesture would have when she decided to give away the movie’s earnings.
“When I decided to donate our entire producers’ earnings from “MothersLovetheMovie “, to the education of children from underserved communities such as Makoko… Little did I know how many it would resonate with, touch, or were watching! Our little Act of Obedience has continued to be an inspiration even to me.”
She said the initiative has now earned her recognition from the Israel Tribune and 90210 Enterprise.
“Honoured to receive both a Social Impact Award and Lifetime Social Impact recognition from both the #IsraelTribune and @90210enterprise, a joint first recognition by them. Thank you!”
Omotola described the honours as a reflection of her gratitude for being able to combine her career with giving back to society.
“I am truly grateful to God to be able to do what I love and give back through it.”
