" I believe every child deserves the fundamental right to good and happy living. Growing up, I had limited opportunities to the basic needs an average Nigerian child could ever dream of. Looking at kids, especially girls back home now, facing similar challenges I experienced, I can't help but relate. Which is why I made the decision to help as many kids as possible through the UCHENNA KANU FOUNDATION."
