The 'Hung Up' star will take a break from recording her new album, which is said to feature contributions from Justin Timberlake, Timbaland and Stuart Price, to travel to the African nation with her 18-month-old son.
Her publicist Liz Rosenberg said: "I can confirm that Madonna is planning a trip to Malawi quite soon. She's going to continue her work with the Raising Malawi Orphan Care Initiative, including the building of a children's care centre.
"If her trip there brings attention to the tremendous need to help the children of that country, then so be it. No one objects to that."
Rosenberg denied rumours that Madonna is planning to add to her brood while she is in Malawi, saying: "She is absolutely not adopting another baby."
