The walls are up for our first Raising Malawi school with buildOn in Kasungu - next up will be roof sheeting. Check out the photo of our progress!
One month ago today, in the village of Kankhumbwa, buildOn broke ground on the first school constructed in partnership with Raising Malawi and Malawi’s Ministry of Education. The two-room school will provide access to education for more than 100 children in the Kasungu District of Malawi. Malawi’s Ministry of Education had identified the school as number one on its list of neediest villages in Kasungu District. The location for the school was chosen because of the state of the existing school infrastructure as well as the deep commitment to education from the community.
Madonna has not forgotten her commitment to help the children of Malawi and announced today plans to build ten new schools in Malawi with buildOn, a deeply respected non-profit organization that has an unparalleled track record of school construction in Malawi. buildOn has already built 54 primary schools in Malawi and with Madonna's commitment will greatly expand their work.
