The orphanages and care centres she has been involved with have been freshly painted and spruced up while security around the exclusive lodge where Madonna stayed last year has been tightened, the Associated Press reports.

Yacinta Chapomba, a director of local aid group Consol Homes, which has been involved with Madonna’s organization in the building of a children’s care center, said an official opening ceremony would be held at the center on Monday. She could not confirm whether the star would attend.

The center in the impoverished village of Mphandula, 50 kilometers (30 miles) outside the capital Lilongwe, will initially house 400 children who lost their parents to AIDS.

There has also been much activity at the Home of Hope orphanage where David was cared for. The road to the village of Mchinji have been upgraded, new flowers planted and the children have received new uniforms. Three local police officers have been posted at the orphanage.
