Rihanna is putting in work towards making sure all boys and girls receive a quality education. 

Rihanna’s Clara Lionel Foundation has partnered up with Global Partnership for Education (GPE) and Global Citizen on a multi-year initiative in order to support education across the globe.

According to a press release, Rihanna joined a campaign that will advocate for 250 million children across 60 developing countries to receive a quality education, prioritizing “the poorest and most vulnerable” areas for financial relief. Rihanna’s Clara Lionel Foundation will encourage world leaders to put greater emphasis on global learning.

The Barbadian native hopes to advocate education for children that are not enrolled and those currently in school that are unable to learn in the school they are in. 

According to theboombox.com Rihanna stated:

By operating across more than 60 developing countries to ensure that every child receives a quality education, the partnership will prioritize the poorest and most vulnerable, including girls and children affected by conflict and crisis.

​Rihanna is a superstar on and off stage and she is making sure kids across the globe to aspire to be the same.
