Written by KingCnote on March 23, 2020
Thank Rihanna for coming through in a crisis.
She pledged $5 million in support to impoverished countries impacted by the coronavirus, including $700,000 worth of ventilators for her home country of Barbados.
The charity effort is happening through her Clara Lionel Foundation non-profit. The money will help fund local food banks, purchase medical equipment for healthcare workers on the front lines and provide testing in nations suchas Haiti and Malawi.
There are currently around six cases of COVID-19 in Barbados. (Kevz)
