During her visit to Malawi last week, Madonna promised electricity to a village that has never been able to have power.
“I know you work in darkness,” she told villagers in Mphandula. “I will bring you electricity.”
The singer was in the country – one of the poorest in the world – to oversee the start of construction of a new girl’s school her charity, Raising Malawi, is building.
The organization has already donated $500,000 for a child care center in the village – a facility that now feeds and educates 3,000 orphans.
