Rihanna Launches Fundraiser To Educate Girls In Malawi

Barbados beauty Rihanna has launched a new fundraiser drive online, to improve girls access to education in Malawi. The “Work” crooner who started up the Clara Lionel Foundation in honor of her grandmother, now hopes to improve the state of the education sector in Malawi with The Dollar Campaign.

Robin Fenty also known as Riri has also been in talks with the French President Emmanuel Macron to help in her joint efforts with the Fund Education program with Global Citizen. Visiting Malawi in early June 2017, it seems the exposure to the education system lead Rihanna to work towards long-term solutions.
