In 2012, Madonna launched a partnership between Raising Malawi and the global nonprofit buildOn. In July 2018, she traveled to Northeast Kasungu Province to officially open the four newest primary schools. In total, Raising Malawi has built 14 schools in rural Malawi. As a part of the partnership, Raising Malawi and buildOn have educated community members about the importance of girls’ education, and as result, all schools have gender-parity.
Today, Madonna has served nearly 10,000 Malawian students – fulfilling her commitment to making learning and school accessible to Malawian youth.

![“Working as a doctor in Africa can be tough. Children often present late and sometimes it is difficult to save a life despite all efforts made by our new Mercy James Centre (MJC) Pediatric
Intensive Care Unit (PICU) team.
Recently, we had a special visitor, an 11 year old girl who developed Guillain-Barre syndrome, an auto-immune disease
that causes temporary paralysis of all muscles, including those needing to breathe. She required respiratory support and was intubated in our unit on x-mas day!
She was on a ventilator for more than two months. [Once] able to breathe on her own, she spent the last month in our main ward. Last week she was finally discharged home. Still unable to walk long distances, she was carried in today on the back of her sister, wearing her most beautiful dress. They came to thank us all for all care she received.
It’s moments like these that really make us smile because we all realized that without the new PICU she would not have survived. It made us proud since it involved two months of intensive care teamwork and made us realize once more that we can make the difference - Dr. Job Calis, Head Intensivist Mercy James Centre PICU 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏼](https://static1.squarespace.com/static/57197830b6aa60187d530e90/58d0352ef5e231dd6a999c7b/5bc750c8c533ad88e1757aa7/1539789021267/)
