Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter is not only a talented singer-songwriter and actress from Houston, but she is a philanthropist at heart. After donating half a million to Chime for Change, a global campaign created to help strengthen and unite the voices of young women around the world, Bey dropped $7 million to build a low-income housing project for homeless men and women and children in her hometown of Houston. She has a global following and it's great to see her doing an amazing work and inspiring others.
