Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh has received an award for her humanitarian works.
The movie star, via her Instagram page, shared photos of her latest win, expressing her humbleness and honour in receiving the “Help of Help and Light of the Girl Child” award. She stated that the award is more than a recognition; it is a reminder that consistent love, intentional service, and unshakable purpose will always speak louder than words.
The philanthropist revealed that through her foundation, over 3,000 girls have been sent to school each year, not by chance, but through a deep, deliberate commitment to see women and girls rise beyond their limitations. She stated that from advocating for the voiceless to constructing roads for disabled communities, her journey has been one of showing up, again and again, for those who need it most.
Dikeh added that she isn’t just a helper; she is a helper for those who need help, and not just a voice, but a light in dark corners. She cheered to purpose, passion, and the power of being consistent in doing good.
“Humbled and honoured to receive the ‘Help of Helo and Light of the Girl Child’ award. This is more than a recognition; it is a reminder that consistent love, intentional service, and unshakable purpose will always speak louder than words.
Through the Tonto Dikeh Foundation, over 3,099 girls are sent to school every year – not by chance, but through a deep, deliberate commitment to see women and girls rise beyond their limitations. From advocating for the voiceless to constructing roads for disabled communities, my journey has been one of consistently showing up for those who need it most.
I am not just a helper – I am Help for Help.
I am not just a voice – I am light in dark corners.
This award belongs to every girl dreaming of more, and every woman who refused to be silenced.
Here’s to purpose, passion, and the power of being consistent in doing good”.
Early this year, Tonto revealed that she was in a new era, and it’s the calmest phase of her life. She further revealed that she wasn’t tripping about nothing, as she has her assurance in God.
In March, while counting down to her 40th birthday, Tonto had shared her secret to life, revealing that she only does what works for her, doesn’t compare, and don’t copy. She added that in a world filled with envy, hate, pain, and deception, she had learned that true growth comes from within, and had gained the wisdom to prioritise what truly matters.
A month ago, Tonto had opened up on her new era, saying healing made her private and growth made her picky. She added that peace made her unbothered.
In another post, she had responded to a fan who inquired about her love life. She let the fan know she was focused on chasing money and power, not love.
When Tonto turned 40 in June, she spoke about her new mindset, revealing that she doesn’t make shallow requests again and is always specific about what she wants. She said her needs and wants come from a place of self-awareness, wisdom, and alignment, and when she brings something before God, she gives Him a detailed A-to-Z breakdown of what she wants to manifest.
