$1 Million Jolie-Pitt Foundation Donation
"These educational support programs for children of conflict are the best way to help them heal."
- Angelina Jolie
The Education Partnership for Children of Conflict (EPCC) announced a $1 million contribution from the Jolie-Pitt Foundation to support the education of 8,000 young people from both the United States and Iraq impacted by the recent conflict.
The donation will support four organizations who work to help provide education and support to both children who have lost parents, homes, and schooling opportunities in Iraq as well as young people in the United States who are coping with the long deployment, injury, or even the death of a parent serving in the United States Armed Services.
