The 41-year old Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle has donated an unspecified sum of money to victims of the devastating flood in Nigeria that has left hundred dead and millions displaced.
The American actress and daughter-in-law to King Charles III released her 6th podcast episode, an audio series on Tuesday and explained that she discovered she is 43% Nigerian after doing a genealogy test ‘a couple years ago’.
In a press release which accompanied the episode, a Spotify representative confirmed that the couple’s Archewell Foundation made donations to Save the Children and UNICEF, DailyMail.co.uk reports.
The spokesperson said the unspecified donations to the charities would ‘help provide relief following devastating floods wreaking havoc in Nigeria.’
The ravaging floods in the country, blamed by the government on heavy rain and a water release from a dam in neighbouring Cameroon, have killed more than 600 people, displaced over 1.4 million and damaged or destroyed 440,000 hectares of farmland across Nigeria.
Meanwhile, Save the Children Nigeria tweeted: ‘More than 1.5 million children are at risk after devastating flooding in Nigeria.
‘Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Archewell Foundation has donated to Save the Children in Nigeria as our teams deliver life-saving supplies to affected families.’
