In the year 2000, Angelina Jolie went to Cambodia to shoot scenes for the movie Lara Croft: Tomb Raider🇧🇷 The country was going through a humanitarian crisis at the time and that reality left the actress very impacted. Concerned with what she saw, she began researching other places that were also experiencing refugee crises. And that’s when she realized she needed to do something. She has visited over 30 countries, provided humanitarian assistance and donated a lot of money, actions that have contributed to her appointment as a ‘Special Envoy’ to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).

Angelina adopted her first child from an orphanage in Cambodia. So that he would not lose the connection with her country of origin, she decided to buy a house in the Asian country. The problem was that the house was next to Samlout National Park, a region full of poachers of endangered species. The solution found was to buy 60,000 hectares of the park and create a beautiful nature reserve. The project was called Maddox Jolie Projectnow known as Maddox Jolie-Pitt Foundation🇧🇷

The actions of the actress did not go unnoticed by the Cambodian government and she was granted citizenship of the country.

Since her appointment to UNHCR in 2001, the actress has worked to help people in need in different situations and degrees of risk, one of her main causes being that of refugees. The actress visits camps in different countries and offers all kinds of humanitarian aid and support for them to have better conditions. The contribution is intended for the construction of schools and health facilities.

In 2010, worried about the lack of opportunities and schools, Angelina donated $75,000 and opened a school for girls in Tangi, Afghanistan.

Angelina’s fight for better living conditions is tireless. She doesn’t just work with refugees: she raises money to help foundations fighting cancer and extreme poverty.

Angelina lost her mother and aunt, both victims of breast cancer. As the risk of developing the disease in her case was high, she decided to have a preventive double mastectomy.
