Morocco born American
musician, French Montana has donated the sum of $100,000 to the Suubi
Health Clinic in Uganda,
making real his commitment to alleviating the challenges of the people which he
experienced while he was in Uganda in March to shoot his latest
video, ‘Unforgettable’.

French was inspired to film the “Unforgettable” video in Uganda after watching a dance clip of the
country’s Triplets Ghetto
Kids on YouTube.
The rapper, who grew up in Morocco before moving to New
York with his
family at age 13, felt a deep African pride with the project. (His parents’
wedding day photograph from Morocco appears on the “Unforgettable” single
cover).
He had an awesome experience with the Ugandan youths who featured in his video. He
learnt new dance steps from them but was moved to help when he learnt of the
challenges of new mums and babies. Asides the donation, French Montana has also
launched a dance competition to raise more funds to improve health services in
Uganda.
The management of the hospital is committing the donation to
purchasing ambulances, premature incubators, cribs and building a blood bank
and maternity clinic for the community.
