According to a report by Punch Newspaper on Monday August 10, 2026, Nadia Zakaria, the teenage daughter of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, has built and equipped an orphanage home in Etahi Community, Kogi State, through donations.
The initiative has attracted attention because of the young philanthropist’s decision to support vulnerable children and provide them with a more secure and comfortable environment.
Nadia reportedly embarked on the project with the aim of giving children without parental care access to a decent place to live and receive support.
The project also reflects her commitment to contributing to the welfare of less privileged members of the community.
The orphanage home, located in Etahi Community, was reportedly equipped through donations, providing essential facilities and resources for the children who will benefit from the initiative.
The development has also generated positive reactions from members of the community, particularly because the project was undertaken by a teenager who chose to use her resources and influence to make a difference in the lives of vulnerable children.
Nadia’s gesture comes at a time when many communities across Nigeria continue to face challenges in providing adequate care and support for children without parental support.
By investing in an orphanage home, the teenager has drawn attention to the importance of giving vulnerable children opportunities to live in a safe and supportive environment.
The project is also expected to provide a platform where the beneficiaries can receive care and assistance while growing up.
Nadia Zakaria’s initiative has therefore been described as an example of youth-driven philanthropy, showing how young Nigerians can contribute meaningfully to community development.
Her decision to build and equip the facility in Etahi Community has further placed the welfare of vulnerable children at the centre of public attention, while highlighting the impact that individual acts of generosity can have on a community.
