I think the better term would be “sponsoring,” but either way it’s an amazing effort and I wish more people would follow her lead. It costs about $30 a month to sponsor a child in Africa and that money provides their living expenses. When Ne-Yo’s girlfriend Monyetta Shaw got a hold of the brochure given to her by “Football Wives” star Chanita Foster (whose charity it is), she couldn’t pick just one. Instead, she decided to sponsor all 48 children in Swaziland for about $20k a year. Ne-Yo definitely picked a winner!
