Angelina Jolie opened a school in Afghanistan funded by her charity

Hollywood star Angelina Jolie has opened a school in Afghanistan through her foundation The Education Partnership for Children of Conflict.

Angelina Jolie has reportedly said that the all-girls school she is building in Afghanistan has opened, funded by her eponymous jewellery collection.

The actress who is also a philanthropist said “The school located outside of Kabul educates from 200 to 300 students and are funded by her Jewellery Collection. It was funded by the Style of Jolie jewellery line—a collection of jewellery created by Jolie and Robert Procop, a gem expert, private jeweller and jewellery designer. Jolie told E Online! That the new school will be one of many girls schools that will be built and funded through the proceeds from the jewellery collection.

The high jewellery pieces for the Style of Jolie collection are known for using statement gemstones cut in the shape of a tablet, an exclusive feature. Procop had also earlier told in January that Jolie wanted something with an historical message and spent a great deal of time studying how a tablet is held. Together they designed the shape. All proceeds from the sales are used to build schools for girls in impoverished countries through the Education Partnerships for Children of Conflicts, co-founded by Jolie.

The actress, who is also United Nations Goodwill Ambassador, is known for her charity work. Last year, Jolie was left in tears after visiting a Syrian refugee camp.
