Madonna's Malawi Charity Fails in Building School for Impoverished Girls

A charity group supported by famous pop star Madonna has failed in building a school for Malawian impoverished girls due to mismanagement after $3.8 million (£2.3m) is spent on the project. In an effort to do this plan, the Golden Globe-winning actress lent the organization Raising Malawi $11 million of her money and was a frequent visitor to Malawi, where she even has adopted two children.

The star said that she still expected to work with Raising Malawi because there was a real education crisis in this country with sixty-seven percent of girls not being able to follow secondary school. The organization currently features a new set of officials including Madonna and her manager.

Let's take a look at what Madonna had done for Malawi country during nearly five years through some following images.
