She was hoping to provide a solution to the female education deficit in Malawi, but it turns out Madonna will have to put the kibosh on her plans.
The “Like a Virgin” songstress had to face the fact that her Raising Malawi foundation isn’t doing well and therefore will not move forward with building the Raising Malawi Academy for Girls.
Co-founder Michael Berg told press, “A thoughtful decision has been made to discontinue plans for the Raising Malawi Academy for Girls, as it was originally conceived.”
Madge added, “There’s a real education crisis in Malawi. Sixty-seven percent of girls don’t go to secondary school, and this is simply unacceptable. Our team is going to work hard to address this in every way we can. While I’m proud of other accomplishments, I’m frustrated that our education work has not moved forward in a faster way.”
