Earlier this month, Nicki Minaj treated her fans with a Twitter spree that paid off student loan debt and tuition costs of students who needed help—but it seems the generous move was just the tip of the iceberg.

On Saturday, the rapper shared that she has also been contributing to an unnamed hamlet in India, helping develop various aspects to improve day-to-day life in the village.

"This is the kind of thing that makes me feel the most proud," Minaj wrote on Instagram. "The money I've sent to this village in India for the last couple years [via my Pastor Lydia Sloley], has gotten them a Computer Center, a Tailoring Institute, a Reading Program and 2 WATER WELLS."

In the video, a man demonstrates that a newly installed well is fully functioning and ready for use. "Praise the Lord," he says. "This water is going to bless this village," he continued.

"We complain about the most ridiculous little things when some ppl don't even have clean water. Blessings to India," Minaj wrote, before explaining that more information will be disclosed about her charity work so fans can get involved.

Minaj also shared an additional image of women in India gathered in a new building.

"I'm so proud of our sisters in India. God is so good," she wrote. "Their desire was to have water wells & places where they can worship, places where they can learn technology, computers, reading, etc. We're just getting started. These women are us and we are them!"

Say what you will about Nicki Minaj, but it's impossible to deny that she's well on her way to saving the world one move at a time.
