Rita Marley (July 25, 1946)
Cuban-born Jamaican singer Rita Marley’s legacy extends beyond her music career and that of her late husband, Bob. Marley also established a non-profit to help alleviate poverty among the elderly and youth in developing countries. She has adopted 35 children in Ethiopia and been named an honorary citizen of Ghana as a result of her work in the country, which includes assisting more than 200 children at Konkonuru Methodist School.
