Madonna is giving back to thousands of African kids in the country of Malawi. The south eastern portion of ‘The Mother Land’, is reported to be one of the least developed and most densely populated countries in the world. So, the ‘Material Girl’ is putting her pockets to good use, by helping to materialize a Malawian school for girls. The Raising Malawi Girls Academy has already broken ground – Madonna was even there to plant the first tree – and it’s expected to be finished in two years.

“After seeing all the hard working Malawian women who are looking after families and communities, I realized how much they deserve to be educated,” said Madonna.

The Detroit native was first exposed to Malawi, after she adopted two of her children (David Banda and Mercy James), who were born and orphaned there.
