Australian actress Isla Fisher and her usually controversial husband Sacha Baron Cohen have made a very charitable donation over the Christmas period – the pair have donated $US1 million dollars to Syrian refugees.

$US500,000 was given to Save the Children. Their donation will provide measles vaccinations for more than 250,000 kids.

Another lump sum of $US500,000 was given to the International Rescue Committee, that money will offset costs of education, health care, housing and sanitation for women and children.

The couple, who married in March 2010, welcomed their third child together in April.
