Charity

Earlier this year, Rihanna and her Clara Lionel Foundation visited Malawi, one of the poorest countries in the world, with Global Citizen and the Global Partnership for Education.

In a new short documentary, the pop star and GPE ambassador expresses her interest in learning more about the African nation and the how to combat the challenges it faces in the education sector, like lack of resources, which oftentimes leads to a disparaging number of children dropping out after primary school.

In the video, below, Rihanna enters a classroom to help teach students math and sits down with community and global figures alike, all who are rallying together to help end poverty around the world and raise $3.1 billion USD for those efforts.
