​Lorde supports charity ​​for under-privileged children, because she's ace like that​

Because she’s an all-round legend and generally ace person, Lorde has donated $20,000NZ (£10,000) to the New Zealand charity Fuel The Need.

The Upper Hutt-based operation was set up to help under-privileged children get access to lunches in schools. Lorde’s donation is a massive boost to the small charity, which had previously raised a total of $1400 in funds.

“Good on you Manuel and Fuel The Need,” Lorde wrote to the charity on their fundraising page. “I hope this helps a little bit. Lots of love from a former kid who is passionate about all kids having access to food at school.”

Meanwhile, Lorde continues to work on the follow-up to her ‘Pure Heroine’ debut.
