The collaborative album is inspired by the 1995 charity release "Help," which similarly featured leading musicians of the time. According to a press release, funds raised from "Help (2)" will support War Child's initiatives, which include immediate aid, education, specialist mental health support, and protection for children in conflict-affected regions.
War Child, founded in the United Kingdom in 1993, operates in several countries experiencing armed conflict, including Afghanistan, Yemen, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The organization addresses the multifaceted challenges faced by children in these environments, from providing access to education and psychosocial support to advocating for their rights and protection under international law. The original "Help" album was a response to the Bosnian War, highlighting the role of music as a tool for raising awareness and funds for humanitarian crises. The upcoming release aims to address contemporary conflicts and their impact on children.
The inclusion of artists from diverse genres and nationalities on "Help (2)" reflects a global effort to support War Child's mission. The album's release is anticipated to generate significant funding for the organization's programs and to raise awareness about the ongoing challenges faced by children in war-torn regions. Further details regarding the complete tracklist and additional participating artists are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
