Canadian-born Sabrina Dhowre Elba and her husband, actor Idris Elba, want us to keep a specific group in mind as we try to navigate through the new realities of the pandemic: famers in rural parts of African countries. Since recovering from the coronavirus, they became UN Goodwill Ambassadors and launched a relief fund to help farmers continue to grow their crops and maintain access to markets, as movements become more and more restricted. “Helping agriculture is a direct link to pushing back poverty,” Dhowre Elba told HuffPost Canada. Great to talk to @IFAD’s UN Goodwill Ambassadors @IdrisElba + Sabrina Elba & @GlblCtznCAN to discuss the challenges we face as we navigate #COVID19. pic.twitter.com/pT782m5S5D — Karina Gould (@karinagould) May 6, 2020Dhowre Elba was raised in Vancouver, but grew up listening to her mom talk about living in Somalia.
