Pitt, Jolie donate $2 million to Ethiopia

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have pledged $2 million (£1.1 million) to build a hospital in Ethiopia.

The donation will fund a clinic for children suffering from tuberculosis, HIV and AIDS. The couple's adopted daughter Zahara was born in Ethiopia.

"It is our hope when Zahara is older she will take responsibility of the clinic and continue its mission," the pair said in a statement.

Pitt and Jolie recently made a similar donation to set up a hospital in Cambodia, the birthplace of son Maddox.

"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," the statement 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."
