I always salute charity work for Africa, here's a quote from Kanye's blog:
In 2005, Donda West and the Kanye West Foundation donated $5000 to provide textbooks for children in Sierra Leone. Those funds were used to completely rehabilitate a dilapidated, roofless school building for 416 children. A new roof, new desks, new books and a new future for children who eagerly attended school faithfully each day, regardless of their dire surroundings and home life. As a result of Ms. West’s generous donation, Shine On Sierra Leone was developed to sustain these initial efforts.
In 2008, Muddy Lotus Primary was dedicated to the memory of Donda West and her love for education. In honor of this, Shine On Sierra Leone plans to break ground for the “Donda West Library & Literacy Center” (DWLC) this fall. The Donda West Literacy Center will answer the call to an 80% illiteracy rate in the community in the community of Bongema. Serving as a library for the students of Muddy Lotus, DWLC will extend its reach to the community offering free literacy classes to parents within the community
