First Lady Melania Trump to Visit Africa in October without her Husband
Melania Trump says she'll promote child welfare in Ghana, Malawi, Kenya and Egypt in October on her first extended solo international mission, nbcnews reports.
The first lady discussed her plans Wednesday at a reception for the spouses of foreign leaders and others participating in the annual U.N. General Assembly.
"Oct. 1 will mark the first day of my solo visit to four beautiful and very different countries in Africa," Mrs. Trump said during brief remarks to several dozen guests in a reception room in a building near U.N. headquarters.
She said she looks forward to spreading the message of her "Be Best" child-welfare initiative throughout Africa. She launched the campaign earlier this year to focus on overall child well-being, with an emphasis on opioid addiction and online behavior.
The countries on her itinerary have worked closely with the U.S. Agency for International Development, which is helping organize the trip.
