Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie open Ethiopian centre

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have given £1m to the Global Health Committee to open a new clinic in Ethiopia for children suffering with AIDS and tuberculosis. "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. The family have already set up a similar centre, named after their son Maddox in Cambodia. "It is our hope when Zahara (the couple's adopted Ethiopian daughter) is older she will take responsibility of the clinic and continue its mission," Brad added. "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."
