DESCRIPTION
In partnership with Global Citizen and the Global Partnership for Education, the pop star’s Clara Lionel Foundation traveled to the African country in January to gain some insight on the state of education in Malawi. Accompanied by Global Citizen CEO Hugh Evans and former Australian prime minister and current GPE chair Julia Gillard, Rihanna visited schools and met with policymakers to advocate for better education opportunities for children.
During the trip, Rihanna leads kids in a math lesson, empowers young girls with a chant and talks to educators about school needs. "I’m really here to see it," the singer said in the video campaign launched by Global Citizen on Wednesday. "It’s one thing to read statistics, but I want to see it firsthand and find out all that can be done and where to start first."
The goal of the campaign is to call on world leaders to commit $3.1 billion to global education, helping the GPE provide more than 870 million children in 89 countries with a quality education between 2018 and 2020.
Malawi is one of the poorest countries in the world. Half of the population lives below the poverty line and the average income is about 90 cents a day. In the video, educators tell Rihanna that the extreme poverty rates lead students to drop out. Girls, who are usually married off at a young age, are especially at risk for dropping out.
