French Montana Raises $226M For African Healthcare

French Montana was honored at the 2022 Pencils of Promise Gala for helping raise more than $226 million towards healthcare in Africa. Specifically, he's funded the Budondo Suubi “Hope” Health Center, which is the primary source of healthcare for new mothers and their babies in an otherwise desolate region of Uganda. For his efforts, the gala bestowed French with this year's Innovator Award. French say's he was honored to receive the award, and thanked his partners Global Citizen and Mama Hope as well. He added, "PoP is doing groundbreaking work globally to keep kids in school and make sure they have a safe environment to learn. This reminds me of my humble beginnings growing up in Morocco when I didn't know how to speak English. French says, "Education was fundamental to my journey immigrating to the U.S. and starting my career as an artist, which is why this work is so important to our youth.
