Madonna in Malawi

Open your eyes before criticize her.


"From the moment I began my work on behalf of Malawi's ONE MILLION orphans, people have asked, "Why did you choose Malawi?" I always answer, "I didn't. Malawi chose me." Malawi is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. Unfortunately, it is also one of the poorest - suffering from famine, drought, extreme poverty, and deadly diseases like HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis. All of which could be treated with proper health care and education, if it were available.

Through the Raising Malawi: Orphan Care Initiative, Michel Berg and I have committed to doing all that we can to help this small country in desperate need.

We have met with world experts in healthcare, economics, education, and international development - leaders like Dr. Jeffrey Sachs and Dr. Paul Farmer, who have given a voice to the most underprivileged sectors of society. Together we are working to raise the quality of life for a generation of orphaned and vulnerable children.

Now I'm asking you to join us.

With one of the highest HIV/AIDS rates in the world and one of the lowest rankings in the Human Poverty Index, Malawi and her children are at the heart of the humanitarian crisis in sub-Saharan Africa. The challenges facing these children are unimaginable. Everyday in Malawi hundreds of children die from preventable illness, thousands are affected by abuse and neglect, and millions face a lonely struggle for survival without parents, or adult supervision. At Raising Malawi, we believe in turning these challenges into stepping stones.

Malawi is country with incredible promise. Malawians possess resiliency and great spirit. If we give them a chance to achieve lasting sustainability through smart solutions and the proper support, we will in fact raise Malawi. No matter who you are or where you are, you can join this cause and get involved. Volunteers of all ages and from every corner of the world are needed.

Donations, no matter how large or small, can make a big difference: from buying a bed net to helping build a school or a clinic. Every little bit helps.

I urge you to please support Raising Malawi and remember: by committing a little bit of your time, talent, or treasures to these extraordinary children, you will help to save a life."

Madonna has been working in malawi for 7 years, we didnt know about it because she wanted it that way, because she adopted a child from there THATS when we found out, because we chose to be predjudice, shes built an orphanage, paid for vaccines, food, clothes running water and now a school. Why do people think shes doing this for attention??? sick idiots, try making a difference yourselves before passing biggoted judgment, all shes doing is shaming those who choose to criticise and do fuck all!

OPEN YOUR EYES AND YOUR HEART BEFORE CRITICIZE HER...

[menajapo]

I just can't believe why anyone criticizes her so much on her Malawian charity. It's so easy for everyone to pass judgement when they're sitting on their asses!

What Madonna is doing is amazing- anyone can support these kids that are so deserving of attention and support of their dreams. Just because Malawi is so far away from the US doesn't mean these people don't matter. In America we have opportunity which is beneficial to us and we should use it to support others that don't have the basics. Crocs and the World Food Programme have been very supportive as well- Crocs donated 500 pairs of shoes, and the WFP donates a meal a day for our kids.

i went to malawi for 2 weeks this month to help some villages. after seeing how these people are living in my own eyes, i know madonna did a great thing adopting those kids.

[fajitaboys]

amen to that!

that whole madonna scam is the fakest shit ive ever heard.

Pfft, this spoiled limosine liberal madonna insisted on having armed bodyguards surrounding her at all times when she was around these savages so she wouldn't be gangraped and ripped apart by these white hating mau-maus. Even a guilty white liberal like madonna knows blacks want to rob her and sexually mutilate and torture her to death, then celebrate and cannibalize her. Madonna doesn't trust them anymore than the KKK does.
