Rap artist Curtis Jackson, better known as 50 Cent, visited orphaned schoolchildren in a Nairobi slum on Thursday (February 9th), one day after visiting camps for internally displaced people in southern Somalia, AFP reported.
"What I am seeing is devastating -- these women and children have risked everything to come to this Somalia camp, just to get food," Jackson said in a statement released by the World Food Programme. "They need our help."
Jackson made the visit with the World Food Programme to witness the impact of drought in the Horn of Africa after donating money from sales of a beverage company he owns.
"I want to do my part so they get food and an education," he said. "I hope more people will join me to help end this devastating situation."
