Madonna has spoken out to squash recent rumors that have been spreading across the tabloids about her charity’s efforts to build a school for girls in Malawi. Her publicist Liz Rosenberg has spoken to Us Magazine to state that recent rumors about the project falling apart are “wild and totally false”. As are rumors claiming that Madonna and her charity, Raising Malawi, are being investigated by the FBI and the IRS.
“It is unfortunate that people have chosen to say things about Raising Malawi and Madonna that are not true,” Rosenberg adds “Madonna remains committed and focused on what matters: helping the children of Malawi.”
There have been accusations made against the now-former executive director Phillippe van de Bossche about misuse of expenses. And It ‘s true that there have been changes in the schools leadership and the original plan has been reworked.
This is very good news, as Madonna was quoted to say herself during March this year “There is a real education crisis in Malawi. Sixty-seven percent of girls don’t go to secondary school, and this is simply unacceptable”
