Top Canadian singer and songwriter, The Weeknd has donated $100,000 to the
Suubi Health Center, a maternity and children’s medical facility located
in Budondo, Uganda, to help fund a new clinic.
According to E! News, the “Starboy” singer was motivated to make a
donation because of French Montana’s work to raise awareness for the
health center through Global Citizen, a social action platform, and Mama
Hope Organisation in Uganda.
In March 2017, French Montana traveled to Suubi
community in Uganda where he shot the ‘Unforgettable’ music video and
was inspired by the visit that he pledged the first $100,000 donation to
help pay for ambulances, premature incubators, cribs and a blood bank
for the community.
According to the report, the rapper is challenging his colleagues in the
industry to make donations to help pay for the new maternity.
