Nicolas Cage donated $2 million to Amnesty International USA. It will be for the benefit of former child soldiers worldwide.
The donation will aid in providing shelters and medical and psychological rehabilitation services, said Larry Cox, executive director of Amnesty International USA, told ABCNews.
Cox accepted the donation at a United Nations Conference in New York.
"I understand that this pledge is not a solution for the problem," Cage, 42, said when he announced the contribution by video reported by ABCNews.
He adds, "It's my hopeful wish that today's discussions on this tragic subject at the United Nations conference may bring us closer to eradicating the nightmare of child soldiers."
Cage has been working with Amnesty International for more than two years.
