Madonna on the cover of British 'Elle'

Madonna is taking a page out of the Oprah Winfrey Handbook to World Domination by planning to build a girls? school in Africa.

The Material One is in the process of applying to found the educational establishment in Malawi, where she adopted her son David in 2006.

She tells Elle magazine, ?I?m buying land and getting permission to build a girl?s school. The women will play a big role in the future and rebirth of Malawi.?

Oprah co-founded the all-girls Henley-On-Klip Leadership Academy in South Africa in 2006. And Madonna, who currently governs a Malawi based charity project, isn?t the only U.S. star helping students in the African nation - Ricki Lake is helping to build a school founded by her Malawian nanny.
