Beyonce’s donation will fund pilot testing of the device in Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Mali, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, Tanzania and Uganda, and could help 1,900 underweight babies who, without it, might not live. This donation, which Beyoncé announced at an anniversary party for Gucci¹s Chime for Change, was the domino effect of Chen stepping on to the TEDWomen 2013 stage.
