WAR CHILD
We decided to start with an AMAZING charity called 'WAR CHILD', of whom Keane are patrons!
War Child is an organization that works with children affected by war in countries like Iraq, Uganda or Afghanistan. They work with children who have been hit hardest by the joint forces of poverty, conflicts and social exclusion. Their groundbreaking work with child soldiers, street children and children in prison has supported and helped thousands and thousands who would otherwise not have been able to reintegrate themselves in their community, gain access to education or be able to sustain themselves.
The children that War Child works with participate directly in their decision making and project design. In that way their projects reflect their needs.
War Child also works with other aid organisations, local and national governments, to ensure the knowledge and skills gained through their work are shared with as many people as possible. In that way, they're able to help many and many more children than they hope to reach directly.
Keane made some concerts to raise some money for WAR CHILD and they earned something like £115,000. A totally impressive number!
