Brad and Angelina Open an HIV/AIDS Clinic in Ethiopia

Through the Jolie-Pitt Foundation, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie recently donated $2 million to the Global Health Committee to build a clinic for children with HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis in Ethiopia.

According to People, the center will be similar to the Maddox Chivan Children's Center in Cambodia. It will be named after their child, Zahara, 3, who was adopted from Ethiopia. "It is our hope when Zahara is older she will take responsibility of the clinic and continue its mission," Pitt said in a statement.

In the Cambodian branch, children continue to receive medical, education, and social services. The Ethiopian clinic will also focus on treatment of tuberculosis, which is the largest cause of death worldwide in children and adults with AIDS.

"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," Jolie said in a statement.

Pitt continued, "The fact that poor people continue to die in our world today of TB, a curable disease, because of lack of access to drugs and care is unacceptable."

Since its establishment in 2006, the foundation has also donated $1 million to Doctors Without Borders, as well as $1 million to the Global Action for Children organization.
