OPay Supports Over 1,000 Osun Students Through Play4aChild Initiative

OPay, a leading Nigerian fintech firm, has supplied educational supplies to more than 1,000 students—including 40 learners with disabilities—in Osun State through its Play4aChild Initiative, in partnership with the Do Good Charity Back‑To‑School project. The effort underscores OPay’s commitment to education, youth development, and community empowerment.

The distribution reached students at Osogbo Grammar School, Oloofa Grammar School, St. Georges’ Primary School, Special Needs Secondary School, Salvation Army Grammar School, and Union Baptist Primary School, providing essential learning materials to enhance their academic experience and broaden access to quality education.

Play4aChild is a social impact program built into the OPay app that allows users to support charitable causes while using the platform. By playing games, paying utility bills, making purchases, and engaging with other app services, users earn points that are converted into donations for community projects.

Speaking about the initiative, Itoro Udo, OPay’s Corporate Social Responsibility Manager, said:

“Education remains one of the strongest tools for shaping the future of young people and communities. We are proud that, through the Play4aChild initiative, everyday activities carried out by our users on the app are having a meaningful impact on students who need support the most. Seeing over 1,000 students, including 40 students with disabilities in Osun State, benefit from this intervention in partnership with Do Good Charity Back‑To‑School project is deeply encouraging for us, and it reinforces our commitment to creating opportunities that improve lives beyond financial services.”

Representatives from the beneficiary schools praised the intervention, describing it as timely and impactful for students and their families.

Users can access the Rewards section of the OPay app to participate in Play4aChild activities, turning routine transactions and in‑app actions into support for charitable projects and communities in need.
