The other 500,000 dollars will go to the U.S.' Armed Services YMCA Operation Hero Program, which provides tutoring and counseling for children who have a parent stationed overseas or have lost a parent in the fighting.
"These educational support programs for children of conflict are the best way to help them heal," People quoted Jolie, as saying.
Pitt added: "We hope to encourage others to give to these great organizations."
