Actors Donate $2-Million to Help Ethiopian Children

September 17, 2008, 12:55 pm

Actors Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have given $2-million to create a center for children affected by AIDS and tuberculosis in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, reports Agence France-Presse.

The couple is working with the nonprofit group Global Health Committee on the clinic, which will be named for their three-year-old adopted Ethiopian daughter, Zahara. This is the second such facility supported by Ms. Jolie and Mr. Pitt; the first was in Cambodia, the news agency reports.

“Our goal is to transfer the success we have had in Cambodia to Ethiopia, where people are needlessly dying of tuberculosis, a curable disease, and HIV/AIDS, a treatable disease,” Ms. Jolie, says.
