Madonna Reveals Plans to Open an Orphanage in Malawi



Singer Madonna has revealed her plans to open an orphanage in Malawi.

E! Online  is reporting that the 52-year-old superstar revealed the news in her interview in 'American Revolutionaries: The Hitmakers,' a docu-series which focuses on some of pop music's most influential artists.

Madonna said, "My short term goals are to build an orphan care center that will service and reach at least 1,000 children and I'm also actively involved in funding several orphanages that already exist."

The pop star previously created a charity and tried to build a $15 million school in Malawi, to educate approximately 400 girls, but unfortunately the plans collapsed in March.

Madonna has a special bond with Malawi. She had adopted her son, David, and her daughter, Mercy, from an orphanage in the impoverished African nation.
