About Us
The Clara Lionel Foundation, established in 2012, has evolved from its initial health-focused mission into a multifaceted organization addressing some of the most pressing challenges facing vulnerable communities worldwide.
The foundation's origins remain deeply personal for Rihanna, having been established following the death of her grandmother, Clara Braithwaite, from cancer.
By prioritizing diverse perspectives and experiences in leadership positions, the foundation aims to create more culturally responsive and effective programs.
