In the poster, Inno encouraged people to open their hearts and pockets to ensure no child is left behind when the school year starts.
"As we draw closer to the reopening of schools, it is important to think of those in need. This January, I will be donating essential school supplies (pens, pencils, notebooks, paper, folders, calculators, backpacks, and pencil cases, etc) to families in need and child-headed homes. Those who wish to join me in contributing to the making of future leaders, kindly reach out. All donations. All proceeds will go towards the initiative and the greater cause."
Other Mzansi celebs who do their bit for pupils
In January 2025, the Black Coffee Foundation shared its commitment to providing kids with the tools they need to succeed.
“School's where dreams begin. It is where young minds are shaped, where curiosity is nurtured and where futures are built. We believe in the power of education to transform lives and uplift communities."
“Our Back-to-School Project is a commitment to making sure every child has what they need to start the school year strong. Let us all work together to give them the tools to dream, learn, and achieve,” he added.
Other celebs include DJ Shimza, who donated 2000 school shoes and actress Nomzamo Mbatha, who helped 700 students with stationery and school uniforms at the start of the school year.
Speaking on the impact a simple haircut can have on learners, Knights Barber told Briefly News writer Gloria Masia that small acts often carry deep meaning.
“From our experience, a fresh haircut helps students feel confident and proud of themselves. When they look neat and presentable, they feel better walking into school and are more ready to focus and participate. It may seem small, but it makes a big difference to how they feel about themselves.”
The establishment added that many barbers choose to give back because they understand the realities that families in their communities face.
“Free haircuts are a way to support families and help young people start the school year on a positive note. It builds trust in the community and shows that the business cares about people, not just money.”
According to Knights Barber, initiatives such as cutting children's hair for free before school also create a sense of unity and shared responsibility.
“When businesses give back, it strengthens the relationship between the community and the people who serve it. It reminds young people that they are seen and valued.”
Cyan Boujee's donation side-eyed
In a previous report from Briefly News, Cyan Boujee has opened her heart to her hometown by donating food items to the less privileged. The YouTuber shared photos from her drop-off, where she expressed feeling a sense of pride for being able to help those in need through her foundation.
"This is just an upgraded version of what I’ve always loved. Hoping this is the beginning of bringing the Reaching Out Foundation back," she said in the post.
She received applause from the online community for her generous act, while others accused her of doing "damage control" for the trafficking incident. However, Cyan Boujee is proud to be able to do her bit for her people.
