Jolie, a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, funded the girls-only primary school in an area outside Kabul that has a high refugee population, E! News said in an exclusive report.
The school educates 200 to 300 girls, E! said. It showed pictures of the school, which opened in November, and a plaque acknowledging Jolie's contribution.
Jolie also funded a girl school in eastern Afghanistan that opened in 2010, according to the UNCHR.
Jolie's representatives did not return calls for comment.
E! News said that Jolie plans to pay for more schools by selling the Style of Jolie jewellery line that she helped create with jewellery maker Robert Procop. Procop designed the engagement ring given to the actress by her partner Brad Pitt in April 2012.
"Beyond enjoying the artistic satisfaction of designing these jewels, we are inspired by knowing our work is also serving the mutual goal of providing for children in need," Jolie was quoted as telling the website.
Procop's website said the "first funds from our collaboration together have been dedicated to the Education Partnership for Children in Conflict [founded by Jolie] to build a school in Afghanistan".
Provoked controversy
According to the Style of Jolie website, the newly expanded collection includes versions of the black and gold necklace that the actress wore to the premiere of her 2010 movie Salt, a pear-shaped citrine and gold necklace, and rose gold and emerald tablet-shaped rings, earrings and bracelets. No price details were released.
The jewellery will go on retail sale for the first time on April 4 through Kansas City jewellery store Tivol, Tivol said.
Procop told E! that it was "an honour to have the opportunity to be part of creating this line with Angie, as we both believe every child has right to an education".
Jolie is not the first celebrity to open schools in faraway places. Both Oprah Winfrey and Madonna have funded the building of schools in South Africa and Malawi in the past six years, although both ran into trouble.
Madonna's project provoked controversy over costs and mismanagement, while a staff member at Winfrey's school was arrested on charges of assault and abuse of students. – Reuters
