Angelina Jolie will use the profits from her jewellery line to fund a girls-only school in Afghanistan.
Through her charity, Education Partnerships for Children of Conflicts, the actress has opened the school in Kabul, where the education of boys is often favoured over that of girls.
The school currently educates 200-300 young girls and is said to be making a huge impact on the area.
