The 32 years old American singer/song writer, and multi Grammy award winning musical artiste is a big time philanthropist.

Rihanna is one of those celebrities despite being rich and famous has an undeniable heart for humanity. She is a big time philanthropist but does it on a low-key.

She has numerous foundations, notably to help women and children around the world, the Believe foundation, to help sick children and the Clara Lionel Foundation (CLF).

Rihanna believes the girl child (females) in Africa need to be empowered, because in some poor African countries many don't have access to education. For this course, she built a school for young females in Malawi.

She donated $5 million to the Corona-virus fund in Malawi and Haiti. Her trip to Malawi inspired her to form the foundation. She also helped to build a hospital in Malawi.The generous donation will be used to purchase medical supplies, benefit several food banks and help accelerate testing efforts in more vulnerable countries says CLF.

She donated $2.1 million dollars to help children living with domestic violence during the lockdown. In 2020 she was awarded NAACP awards for her philanthropic and humanitarian efforts towards poor and vulnerable communities especially in the Caribbeans and Africa.

She said; I feel strongly that all children everywhere should be afforded the opportunity of a quality education, therefore I'm proud to announce Clara Lionel Foundation's partnership with education advocacy leaders like the Global Partnership for Education and Global Citizen. Working together, I know we can amplify our efforts and ensure that millions of children gain access to education globally.
