The hotel heiress – whose five-day visit to the war-torn African country in November was “regrettably rescheduled” last week – is still determined to work with the Playing for Good Foundation to draw attention to the plight of the Rwandan people.
Paris said: “We were supposed to be going in November, but the charity is undergoing restructuring and has to sort some things out. It’s going to go ahead next year.”
The 26-year-old star believes her trip to the war-ravished country – which was torn apart by the genocide of 1994 – will encourage a younger generation of people to get involved in charity work.
She said: “I know Rwanda went through a lot of traumatic experiences, and I feel like if I go there, I can help save some lives.
“A lot of people do help, but they may be in the older generation. I want kids to know, even if you’re 15 or 16 years old, you can do something.”
Earlier this month, it was revealed Paris’ Rwanda trip was being turned into a reality show.
The programme, called The Philanthropist, was set to feature various celebrities undertaking charitable endeavours.
