The Sun reports that during a trip to the country, Lady G has been visiting various children's homes in a bid to gather enough information to eventually start her own foundation.
GaGa is also said to have "begged" with her management for the chance to give children at two orphanages music lessons during her time off.
A source told the tabloid: "GaGa would one day like to set up a foundation in her name to help children and, now her career has really taken off, she feels as if it's the right time to do something,"
"She isn't the type of celebrity who just throws cash at things, though. She wants to research it all properly and do something huge."
The added: "She knows it will be a massive amount of work but she wants to start by getting involved in some orphanages that already exist and devote some of her time and money to helping them."
Gaga isn’t the only pop star to open an orphanage. Madonna funded one in Malawi and later adopted her son David.
