The Clara Lionel Foundation was founded by Rihanna in 2012 during the time her late grandmother was sick with Cancer. This was created in her grandmothers memory.
Rihanna has already made many accomplishments with this foundation from raising money for those with HIV/AIDS, finding bone marrow donors for those with Leukemia and purchasing the first modern Radio Therapy machine in RiRi’s hometown, Barbados.
This foundation plans to improve lives in global communities in the areas of health, art, education and culture.
