Through the project, the Ndibereke hitmaker will pay school fees for some of the hard-pressed pupils excelling in their academics.
The Afro-pop singer told NewsDay Life& Style yesterday that she had identified some schools that she would be working with and has already embarked on a tour of the schools to share her story with other youths, so as to inspire them to achieve their dreams.
“In the spirit of giving back to the community, I have decided to embark on a schools’ tour and on Wednesday I visited Girls High School, George Stack and Harare High. Today (yesterday) I will be visiting Mbare High and Hatfield Girls High to share my story with other young people, having learnt a lot since venturing into the music industry,” she said.
The teenage sensation said she hoped to inspire fellow teenagers to be determined to achieve their goals.
