Raising Malawi is a non-profit organization that was started by international pop singer Madonna. In 2006 Madonna and Michael Berg founded Raising Malawi to bring an end to the extreme poverty and hardship endured by Malawi's 2,000,000 orphans and vulnerable children once and for all. Raising Malawi supports community-based organizations that provide vulnerable children and caregivers with the following critical resources:
◦Nutritious food
◦Proper clothing
◦Secure shelter
◦Formal education
◦Targeted medical care
◦Emotional care and psychosocial support
In 2008, Raising Malawi announced the creation of an all-girls boarding school to provide impoverished girls with the means to realize the full range of their potential, to foster Malawian cultural pride and responsibility and to act as examples of girls' empowerment and gender equity.

About This Blog:
We plan to compare and contrast the education system in the United States with the education systems in Malawi, Kenya, Spain, Germany, Japan, and India. These comparisons will give American's an insight on how to improve the quality of K-12 public education grades in the United States. Researching the graduation rates, dropout rates, literacy rates, teachers salaries, and rates of students progressing to higher education in other countries will provide examples of the quality of their education which can be used to support new reforms in the American education system.
