The school in Tangi recently opened 18 months after Jolie, 34, visited the area and expressed her concern at the lack of education for the children there.

The new school, which can accommodate 800 girls in two shifts, has eight classrooms, four administration buildings, a well and eight latrines.

One local man reportedly said: “This is what we needed here and I believe there is a need for every community if we want to build the future of our country – to build schools and get education.”
