As part of her Clara Lionel Foundation, Rihanna has given back heavily to her home-country. The singer, who was named Harvard University’s Humanitarian of the Year in February, also donated $1.75 million to Barbados’ Queen Elizabeth Hospital in 2012.
RiRi also created the Clara and Lionel Foundation Scholarship Program for students attending college in the United States from Barbados and other Caribbean countries.
Rihanna and Prime Minister Freundel Stuart are scheduled to unveil the street sign for Rihanna Drive on November 30.
