Kanye West's Late Mother Donda Honoured

The memory of Kayne West’s late mother Donda is being honoured by a charity in Sierra Leone by naming a new library after her.

The 58-year old passed away last year following complications due to a tummy tuck and breast reduction surgery, but the keen humanitarian is still being remembered by the Muddy Lotus Primary School.

The Donda West Library & Literacy Center is set to be opened this autumn in Bongema, Sierra Leone and will serve students at the once dilapidated school.

The centre, which the West family helped rebuild by donating $5,000 (£2,500), will also provide free literacy classes to the local community in the African country.
