Los Angeles, March 22 (NationPress) The Queen of Pop, Madonna, has shared that her bond with her adopted children has grown significantly due to the charity initiatives they engage in together.
The 66-year-old music icon has a daughter, Lourdes, with Carlos Leon, and a son, Rocco, with ex-husband Guy Ritchie. Additionally, she is the adoptive mother of David, Mercy James, and 12-year-old twins, Stella and Estere.
Recently, she hosted a fundraiser for her charity, Raising Malawi, aimed at assisting children in the African nation at its only pediatric hospital, as noted by femalefirst.co.uk.
Reflecting on how her work with Raising Malawi has transformed her life, Madonna stated: "Meeting my four adopted children has changed my life forever. We are much closer because we share a common goal: to improve Malawi for children to thrive."
She established the non-profit organization in 2006 and expressed that the documentary resulting from her efforts was her proudest achievement, as it raised awareness on a global scale.
She remarked: "The creation of the 'I Am Because We Are' documentary is my proudest moment because it raised significant awareness and support for the AIDS crisis at that time," she revealed to people.com.
"And the establishment of the Mercy James pediatric hospital."
At the inauguration of the Mercy James Centre in 2007, the 'Material Girl' star emphasized her mission to save lives and highlighted her children's selflessness during their time in Africa.
She stated, "I am here to save lives. I don’t want to be an outsider coming in; I want to empower them to help themselves. It’s inspiring to witness my kids in Africa... Their selfless behavior, in contrast to the usual complaints in our privileged world, is refreshing to observe."
