NEW DELHI: American rapper Nicki Minaj has apparently been forwarding financial aid to an Indian village for the past two years, vying for its growth. All thanks to her generosity, the rural region now has a computer centre, a tailoring institute, a reading program and two water wells. Gaining a reputation for philanthropy, the 34 year old 'Anaconda' star posted a picture of a villager switching on one of the wells that was built using her money.
“This is the kind of thing that makes me feel the most proud. The money I've sent to this village in India for the last couple of years (via my Pastor Lydia Sloley), has gotten them a Computer Center, a Tailoring Institute, a Reading Program, and 2 WATER WELLS. We complain about the most ridiculous little things when some ppl don't even have clean water. Blessings to India,” she wrote.
She also appealed to her fans, letting them know that if they want to help, they should get in touch, and revealed that she has been ponying up to allow women there to both worship and acquire new skills. “I'm so proud of our sisters in India. God is so good. Their desire was to have water wells and places where they can worship, placed where they can learn technology, computers, reading, etc. We're just getting started. These women are us and we are them!”
The 'Moment 4 Life' star also said, “Our work is far from done. I'll tell you guys more about my charity wok in the near future in case you'd like to be a part of it. Love.” Minaj recently donated money to help struggling college students pay off their debts and is looking to establish a charity to help with the issue.
