The 48-year-old singer has plans to visit Rwanda next June and wants to do what he can to help with healthcare and education in the poverty-stricken country.
Deputy Director General of the Rwandan bureau of information Kije Mugisha said: "Michael Jackson will be here in June 2007, he confirmed this.
"Michael Jackson is eager to know how many hospitals are in place in Rwanda and how he can help in improving people's health here."
The "Thriller" singer is also keen to get involved with the country's national television services.
Mugisha added: "He promised to do what he can afford to do. It could be in terms of equipment or any other assistance. We shall get to know much of that when he is here in June next year."
It is not yet known how much time or money Michael has committed to his planned charity work in the country.
