The socialite had promised to work towards highlighting important issues upon her release from jail
Hollywood actress Paris Hilton is planning to make a trip to Rwanda in order to spread awareness about poverty and child welfare issues.

The Simple Life star's announcement comes after she said that her spell in prison for driving offences had changed her and vowed to use her fame to spread awareness about good causes.

Speaking to E! Online the 26-year-old heiress said her trip to the African country would help focus attention on the plight of people there.

Hilton said: "I'll be going in November, after I get back from filming my movie. There's so much need in that area and I feel like if I go, it will bring more attention to what people can do to help."

She added: "I want to visit more countries where poverty and children's issues are a big concern. I know there's a lot of good I can do just by getting involved and bringing attention to these issues."

Hilton is currently working on a horror film, Repo! The Genetic Opera.
