Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have donated $1 million to charity
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have donated $1 million to charity.
The couple’s non-profit organization the Jolie-Pitt Foundation has given the
generous sum to the Human Rights Watch’s work in Burma and Zimbabwe.
Kenneth Roth, Human Rights Watch’s executive director, welcomed the
donation, saying: "Burma and Zimbabwe are two of the most repressive
countries in the world and we need to increase international pressure on
them to change.
"Brad and Angelina's investment in our work at this critical moment will
allow intensified efforts by our researchers to expose the repression that
these governments try to keep hidden and by our advocates to generate the
global pressure needed to improve people's lives."
Brad, 44, and 33-year-old Angelina’s contribution will go towards funding
research and advocacy in the two countries.
The Human Rights Watch is an independent organisation dedicated to exposing
human rights violations and protecting people at risk of discrimination
throughout the world.
