**Madonna** fans around the world have celebrated the Queen of Pop's 60th birthday by raising more than US$600,000 for vulnerable children in Malawi.

You see, last month **Madonna** posted a message for her *gazillions* of social media followers, explaining exactly what she wanted for her birthday - donations to her foundation, [**Raising Malawi.**](http://donations.raisingmalawi.org/?ref=celebritykind.ghost.io)

Her post explains: "I *have an unwavering commitment to providing vulnerable children with a loving home. For my birthday, I can think of no better gift than connecting my global family with this beautiful country and the children who need our help most."*

The money would be directed to [**The Home of Hope Malawi**](https://homeofhopemalawi.org/?ref=celebritykind.ghost.io)where hundreds of the country's 1.4 million orphans are cared for, given meals, clothing, an education and medical support.

**Madonna's** post continues: "I *want to come together with my friends, fans and supporters to change the lives of Malawian children and let them know they are nurtured, protected and loved."*

She had set a goal of $300, 000 but on August 16 - **Madonna's** actual birthday- the donations went well beyond! She's now set a new goal of $800,000, plus all donations are being matched by international payment firm **Ripple.** 

The birthday fundraiser will continue until the end of August. If you'd like to contribute, check out [**Madonna's Facebook page**.](https://www.facebook.com/madonna/)
