Angelina Jolie plans to build an AIDS clinic in Ethiopia – so her daughter Zahara can manage it when she is older.
The actress will make a trip to her adoptive daughter’s native country to discuss building the medical centet as part of the work of the Jolie-Pitt Foundation, a charity she set up with her partner Brad Pitt in 2006.
She tells Britain’s Hello magazine, “We will be building a TB (tuberculosis)/AIDs clinic in Ethiopia. One we plan for Zahara to take over when she is older.”
Jolie also hopes to take son Maddox to his native Cambodia as part of a separate charity trip the family is planning once newborn twins Knox and Vivienne Marcheline are more settled.
She adds, “The next trip for our foundation will most likely to be Asia to follow up on the situation in Burma and our work in Cambodia. The boys have been asking to go so we will take them when Knox and Viv are a little bit older.”

Angelina Jolie is considering adopting another child. The ‘Wanted’ actress – who gave birth to twins Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline last month – was so affected by footage of the recent earthquake in China she is contemplating giving a home to a child orphaned in the natural disaster.
A source told Britain’s Star magazine: “Angelina is devastated over the earthquake that occurred in China in May. She has been in constant touch with relief workers as part of her UN involvement, and even got her hands on photos of a few orphaned kids. “She’s made overtures offering a home to one earthquake orphan, or even two if they are siblings.”
As well as the twins, Angelina and her partner Brad Pitt also have three adopted children Zahara, three, seven-year-old Maddox and Pax, four, as well as naturally conceived Shiloh, two.
Angelina, 33, recently revealed her newborn babies are keeping her busy, but she is getting plenty of help from the rest of her family.
She said: “It is chaos, but we are managing it and having a wonderful time. Shiloh calls the twins her babies. She and Zahara pick out their clothes, help change and hold them. It’s sweet – they are like little mommies.”

They are just 3 weeks old, but twins Knox Léon and Vivienne Marcheline are about to take the world by storm.
In an exclusive interview and photos, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie offer PEOPLE an intimate look at their growing family.
“It is chaos, but we are managing it and having a wonderful time,” Jolie tells PEOPLE of daily life at the Château Miraval in Provence, France, where the couple’s four older children – Maddox, 6, Pax, 4, Zahara, 3, and Shiloh, 2 – have been enjoying a summer of outdoor play (hide-and-seek is a favorite) on the château’s sprawling grounds.
Adds Pitt: “[It's] still a cuckoo’s nest.”
Fortunately, they already have some household helpers. “[Shiloh] and Z pick out [the twins'] clothes and help change and hold them,” says Jolie. “It’s sweet – they are little mommies.”

Angelina Jolie has been tipped to play Catwoman in a future Batman movie – by the actress who made the role famous, Julie Newmar.
Newmar, 74, prowled across the small screen, playing the feline villain in the 1960s Batman television series.
And she would love Jolie to take on the role – if The Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan decides to resurrect the character in a future sequel.
Newmar tells the New York Daily News, “Angelina would own the part. My industry friends tell me (she) has made inquiries about the role. I can understand how it would pique her interest. Catwoman is Batman’s one true love. She’s tremendously popular with women because she’s both a heroine and a villainess.”
Since Newmar, the Catwoman role has been played by Eartha Kitt, Lee Meriwether, Halle Berry and Michelle Pfeiffer.
