Diddy donates $200k to Improve Maternal Healthcare in Uganda (Video)
Rapper and businessman, Sean 'Diddy' Combs together with Ciroc have
donated $200,000 to the Unforgettable healthcare campaign, to expand and
improve the Suubi "Hope" Health Center in Uganda.
The initiative was started by rapper French Montana in partnership
with the non-profit Mama Hope and Global Citizen after he filmed the
video for his hit song "Unforgettable" in Kampala.
"I've always said my purpose is to inspire and empower the next
generation to become great leaders – and to honor their hustle along the
way," Diddy tells Rolling Stone. "In addition to passing the torch to
French, I'm showing my support for the work he is doing in Uganda. Not
only will Ciroc be donating $100,000 to support the organization Mama
Hope, I am matching the donation so that our stories and successes can
benefit as many people as possible."
"It's important to give back, it's important to be an agent of
change," Diddy says in a video PSA announcing his donation. "That's a
core part of being down with the Bad Boy family." To that end, French
Montana aims to continue his philanthropic efforts in Morocco next. That
initiative will be linked to the release of his upcoming video for
"Famous."
Diddy's donation follows contributions from both French Montana and
singer the Weeknd, who both donated $100,000 each to Mama Hope's
efforts.
According to the report, the $400,000 will go towards building the
maternal healthcare facilities, a prenatal care clinic, a birth house, a
new ambulance and more at the Suubi Health Center, which serves a rural
population in Budondo, Uganda.
