Blantyre – Former Material Girl Madonna has built 10 primary schools in Malawi this year, 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 tiny 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.
