Beyonce Donates $125K To Help Premature Babies in Ethiopia and other countries
As a mother herself, the singer was inspired to support inventor Jenny Chan whose genius invention will save thousands of babies lives
She is famous for her big voice but singer Beyoncé showed that she's also got a big heart too when she recently donated $125,000 to help save the lives of premature babies in developing countries.
Beyoncé gave the huge donation to Embrace Innovations - a charitable organisation that has designed and now distributes an ingenious infant warmer for babies born in poverty.
The baby warmer is a low-cost alternative to an incubator that looks like a tiny sleeping bag as seen below.
Beyoncé’s donation will fund pilot testing of the device in Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Mali, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, Tanzania and Uganda, and could help 1,900 underweight babies who, without it, might not live.
The Crazy in Love singer, who became a mother herself to daughter Blue Ivy in 2012, announced her support and donation at an anniversary party for Gucci’s Chime for Change charity which raises awareness for education and health for girls in developing nations.
