Singer The Weeknd has donated a whopping amount of USD 100,000 to a maternity and children's medical facility located in Uganda's Budondo.
Talking to E! online, the 27-year-old musician said that he was inspired to support the centre after learning about his friend French Montana's work with Global Citizen and Mama Hope to help raise awareness for Suubi and the people of Uganda.
After The Weeknd's donation, Suubi was able to complete construction of the first floor of the maternity clinic and increase its capacity of serving 56,000 people to 2,60,000 people.
Montana also donated USD 100,000 to Suubi and launched an online campaign called #Unforgettable that has helped gather resources for a blood bank, premature incubators, cribs and other maternity supplies.
