SPoC for Autumn 2 - Zendaya
Zendaya was born in Oakland, California, and is an actress and singer who uses her fame to help others. She gives her time and money to charities that support children, families, and people who need food or homes. She believes everyone should be treated fairly and kindly, no matter where they come from.
Zendaya often uses her voice to talk about equality, kindness, and confidence. When she has a birthday, she sometimes asks her fans to give money to charities instead of buying her presents!
Some of the charities Zendaya supports include:
💧 Convoy of Hope – helps families get food and clean water
🎓 UNICEF – helps children go to school and stay safe
🏠 Feeding America – gives food to people who don’t have enough to eat
🌍 Women for Women International – helps women around the world build better lives
Zendaya shows that being famous isn’t just about acting — it’s about using your voice to make the world a kinder, fairer place.
