Jolie-Pitt Foundation makes large donation

Money will help establish program to treat drug-resistant tuberculosis


Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are giving again. The couple has made a $2 million donation through their Jolie-Pitt Foundation to the Global Heath Committee to create a center for AIDS and tuberculous-affected children in Ethiopia, Access Hollywood has learned.

The money will also go toward establishing a program to help treat drug-resistant tuberculosis in children and adults.

“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,” Angelina said in a statement released to Access.
