International rapper Nicki Minaj has been sending money to an unnamed village in India for quite some time now. From behind the spotlight, the artist has been funding the development works in the hamlet. According to the Deccan Chronicle, the locals now have access to clean water, basic education and technology.
The village even makes an appearance on Minaj's Instagram handle where she shares the improvements made so far. The villagers now have a computer centre, a tailoring institute, a reading programme as well as two water wells. Speaking of the water wells, Minaj remarks in a caption 'We complain about the most ridiculous little things when some ppl don't even have clean water.'

This is the kind of thing that makes me feel the most proud. The money I've sent to this village in India for the last couple years [via my Pastor Lydia Sloley], has gotten them a Computer Center, a Tailoring Institute, a Reading Program and 2 WATER WELLS. We complain about the most ridiculous little things when some ppl don't even have clean water. Blessings to India. Our work is far from done. I'll tell you guys more about my charity work in the near future in case you'd like to be a part of it. Love????

In another post, she showcases the school that has been built in the village.

I'm so proud of our sisters in India. God is so good. Their desire was to have water wells & places where they can worship, places where they can learn technology, computers, reading, etc. We're just getting started. These women are us and we are them!
