Wants to build 150 homes strong enough to stand up to fierce storms

Moved to New Orleans after Katrina causing him to want to help rebuild the city, and found the
make it right foundation
I'd like to design something like a city or a museum. I want to do something hands on rather than just play
golf which is the sport of the religious right. “ Brad pitt”
Donated $100,000 to the Discovery Center - a children's learning museum in his hometown of Springfield,
Missouri. [June 1996
On the invitation of Virgin CEO Richard Branson, he visited over 100 orphans affected by HIV at a facility
run by The Salvation Army in South Africa as well as personally meeting Nelson Mandela and discussing
Mandela's 46664 campaign (named for his prison ID number) to call attention to South Africa's devastating
AIDS epidemic. After South Africa, he then flew to Ethiopia on behalf of DATA, a third-world lobby group
co-founded by U2's Bono. [November 2004]
History of the make it right foundation: When Brad Pitt visited New Orleans’ Lower 9th Ward two years after
Hurricane Katrina, he was shocked by the lack of rebuilding progress in this historic, working class

community. Many worried the plight of the neighborhood would be forgotten. In a bold move, Pitt committed
to help rebuild in the hardest hit area of the city.

Pitt believed that if we could build safe, sustainable homes in the most devastated part of New Orleans, we

would prove that high-quality, green housing could be built affordably everywhere. Led by GRAFT architects,
the organization convened 21 world-renowned architects to design climate-adapted, eco-friendly homes,
informed by William McDonough’s Cradle to Cradle design principles.

Over the course of many months, Pitt and the architects, who volunteered their time and work, met with Lower
9th Ward homeowners and community leaders to talk about their rebuilding needs and collaborate on home

designs. Make It Right kicked off initial fundraising efforts with the Pink Project in December 2007and broke

ground on the first homes with President Clinton and the Clinton Global Initiative in March 2008. Construction
began in June 2008 and the first six homes were completed in August 2008.
Find out where Make It Right is today.
Brad pitt founder of the make it right foundation is rebuilding new Orleans.

Pitt supported himself by driving strippers in limos, moving refrigerators and dressing as a giant chicken while
working for "el Pollo Loco".
