The Starboy singer has clearly been taking a leaf out of his girlfriend Selena Gomez’s books after she made a donation earlier this year to the University of Southern California’s Keck School of Medicine for research, into a cure for the autoimmune disease lupus.
And now it’s The Weeknd’s turn to give back as he made the donation to the Suubi Health Centre in Budondo, Uganda, a maternity and children’s medical facility. The 27-year-old’s donation has since been used to complete the building of the first floor of the health centre, meaning it can now cater to 260,000 people in comparison to the 56,000 capacity it could serve before. The Weekend, real name Abel Tesfaye, is said to have been inspired by his friend rapper French Montana who has also donated $100,000 to the institution previously – and has set up his Unforgettable campaign that has provided maternity incubators, premature cribs and funded a blood bank.
