The Carters Help Raise $7.1 Billion to End World Poverty

The philanthropy work of JAY-Z and Beyoncé cannot be denied. In the couple’s latest effort to eradicate extreme property, they helped raise $7.1 billion.

On Dec 2. The Carters honored the legacy of late Nelson Mandela by headlining the 2018 Global Citizen Festival. The festival is an anti-poverty initiative and benefit concert.

Global Citizens wanted to raise only $1 billion, but thanks to The Carters 90 minutes performance, the festival raised over $7 billion.












Now that the King and Queen of Hip-Hop are back home after their South Africa trip, Beyoncé went to Instagram to share her thoughts and express gratitude.

According to an impact report on Global Citizen’s website, pledges came from numerous organizations. The World Bank, Vodacom, Cisco, and the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief all donated. Also, the South African government contributed.
