Gigi Lamayne Foundation

The proof is in her social media and the incredible support she has garnered so far. “The Gigi Lamayne Foundation is basically the do-gooder of the world. So we decide every year what our agenda is. So maybe within the first year we decide that we’re going to really focus on girls at school. For instance this year was about girls in the creative industry who are trying to get out there. Last year was about young orphans who just need lots of help in terms of clothing and stuff.” Gigi told Zkhiphani.
