Rihanna making a Difference in the Lives of Children5 min read

Bajan superstar Rihanna, has spent a great deal of her time making a difference in the lives of children across the world. Earlier this year, Rihanna visited students in Malawi as part of her organization’s effort to raise money for education in developing countries.

Rihanna’s Clara Lionel Foundation joined forces with the Global Partnership for Education and Global Citizen to help students achieve their educational goals,and when Rihanna paid a visit to the Muzu school in Malawi, not only was she hands-on, she also made it her goal to provide the children with better access with regard to smaller classrooms and more schools.

Rihanna put her own math skills to use when she gave the students a lesson in math.

In the video which captured a part of her visit, she sid, “I love that they learn in melody, they adopt melody really, really quickly. And so, if you can use that as a learning tool, I think that’s the most brilliant, brilliant thing.”

The documentary sheds light on the issues facing students at Muzu, from poverty to hunger and the fact that a single teacher often has up to 100 students in a class.

In addition to using her own organization to donate money, Rihanna wants her fans to step up to the plate as well by donating to the Global Partnership for Education to help raise $3.1 billion to bring quality education to more than 870 million children in 89 countries between 2018 and 2020.
