Just a couple of days into the construction of the new multi-million dollar school being built by Raising Malawi, Madonna is reaching out to people worldwide in hopes of gaining support and donations to fund any number of the organization's projects to benefit the children of Malawi. As Madonna explains in a video message, she will be matching the donations dollar for dollar with her own money.

The singer and humanitarian penned a guest blog on Huffington Post today explaining her mission in Malawi and describing why she was so moved by the children of this country, one of the most poor in the world.

"Please join me in supporting the work of Raising Malawi," Madonna asked her fans. "Every dollar we collect will make a huge difference in a child's life. By matching your donation, dollar for dollar, I will personally ensure that your contribution has an even greater impact. That's a promise."
