Pop superstar Rihanna opened her wallet in an effort to fight the coronavirus pandemic, as the singer’s Clara Lionel Foundation donated $5 million to several organizations worldwide, Variety reported.
The foundation — launched by Rihanna in 2012 and named for her grandparents, Clara and Lionel Braithwaite — distributed money to Direct Relief, Partners In Health, Feeding America, the International Rescue Committee and World Health Organization’s COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund, among others, according to Billboard.
“Never has it been more important or urgent to protect and prepare marginalized and underserved communities — those who will be hit hardest by this pandemic,” Justine Lucas, the foundation’s executive director, said in a statement.
