Madonna Builds 10 Primary Schools In Malawi

Madonna gets significant amounts of media attention not because of her peculiar and sometimes even shocking behavior on and off stage, but because of her commitment to help the less privileged.


Her charity announced on Friday. Two years after abandoning a $15m girls academy, the pop diva said projects this year would educate 4,871 children in the southern African country.
The projects were carried out by her charity Raising Malawi and the global non-profit buildOn.
“I am overjoyed that my commitment along with buildOn’s to help educate the children of Malawi has come to fruition,” Madonna said in a statement issued by her charity.


“In a country where girls have little opportunity for education, it’s additionally inspiring to know that more than half the students attending will be young girls.
“The fact that more than 4,800 children in Malawi will get to go to school next year is a tremendous step forward for their individual growth and the growth of Malawi,” Madonna added.
