After a few rocky months tied up in a custody battle with her ex-husband Guy Ritchie, Madonna and her 15-year-old son Rocco are on better terms. Having spent some quality time together in NYC and London, the duo jetted to Malawi with her other children Lourdes, 19, David, ten, and Mercy, ten.

The singer and her children travelled to the heart of Africa for an inspiring trip to support the new initiative Shining Hope for Communities. The family visited students, orphanages, and even David's place of birth. Here is a look at all of the photos from Madonna's inspiring family trip to Malawi. Photo: Instagram/@madonna
