Oftentimes celebrities make the news for things they're not proud of. So, it's likely when things are going well or when they make a positive impact, they'd want that highlighted, as well. That doesn't seem to be the case for Jennifer Connelly — at least not when it comes to her philanthropy. It's difficult to determine just how far back her passions toward giving back to humanity actually started, but Connelly has been involved in numerous charitable organizations.
A 2006 Marie Claire article revealed that while filming "Blood Diamond" in Mozambique, Connelly spent time at a local orphanage, and according to the magazine, there was no press about it. Of seeing the children in this difficult and unacceptable situation they were living in, the actor said, "It was horrendous. So we started doing as much as we could, but it was difficult." In 2008, the actor appeared in a PSA about the lack of safe water in Africa. The commercial was for Charity: Water, which aims to provide clean drinking water for people in impoverished communities all over the world. That same year, the beautiful actor signed on as a Revlon spokesperson, which would get her involved in the company's various charities.
In 2012, Connelly signed on to be Artist Ambassador for Save the Children, which helps children all over the world who are dealing with the effects of poverty, poor healthcare, and economic struggles. "I'm honored to be an Artist Ambassador for Save the Children, working to ensure all children receive an equal start in life," Connelly said.
