Hollywood actress Nicole Kidman and her musician husband Keith Urban are planning to fund a school to provide education and medical needs to children in Haiti.

The ‘Australia’ star and the country singer are keen to help the earthquake-stricken nation by giving money to an education facility, Access Hollywood reported.

“We’re actually going to be funding a school down there for the next five years,” said Urban.

The couple are aiming at establishing a school which will not only impart education but also help children by providing basic health amenities.

“It’s in Port-Au-Prince. The kids will also have one hot meal a day. They’ll have all of their medical taken care of by the school, and clothing, as well,” said Urban.

The couple is reportedly joining forces with Oscar-winning director Paul Haggis and the Artists for Peace and Justice organisation to spearhead the project.
