Rihanna also pledged the money to help the elderly in the US and supporting testing and care facilities in Haiti and Malawi.

Work songstress RiRi set up the non-profit organization in 2012 in honor of her grandparents Clara and Lionel Braithwaite.

Her website states their aim to develop a vaccine for the killer bug as well as other therapies offered by the foundation in times of need.

CLF’s executive director Justine Lucas told TMZ: “Never has it been more important or urgent to protect and prepare marginalized and underserved communities – those who will be hit hardest by this pandemic.”

The foundation was primarily formed to improve emergency response programs around the world.

Rihanna’s donation has been a huge positive as the global coronavirus pandemic continues to bite.

The UK has seen 233 deaths after a further 53 people had died in England after testing positive for the deadly virus.

The global death toll continued to rise with further increases across Spain, Belgium, Germany and Iran and other countries struggling to control the virus.
