First lady Melania Trump departs this week for her first big solo international trip through several African countries.
The first lady announced last week she planned to work closely with the United States Agency for International Development to focus on efforts similar to her childhood wellness initiative while visiting Ghana, Malawi, Kenya and Egypt.
Trump's spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham told CNN that healthcare, education, conservation and tourism were top priorities on the trip's agenda, and "as with all that the first lady does, the well-being of children."
Trump previously said she is excited for her first time in Africa "to educate myself on the issues facing children throughout the continent, while also learning about its rich culture and history."
African countries have been a popular destination for first ladies on goodwill tours that sometimes bring aid or attention to the continent.
