Rapper and DJ Lil Jon has founded not one but two schools in Ghana, West Africa.

Jon donated $70,000 for the formulation of Abomayaw D.A. Kindergarten and Mafi Atitekpo DA Primary School.

He was moved to help the children of Africa because of a trip and the fact that his own son is enrolled in New York University.

“When I saw the conditions where these children were trying to learn, one community they had a big mango tree and two classes were sitting under the mango tree and that’s not a condition conducive with learning” the rapper explained.

He continued, “Children shouldn’t have to suffer for any reason.”  “One of these kids could grow up to be a scientist, a lawyer, an astronaut, the president of their country. I could create an environment where all these things could happen.”
