The single is intended to raise both funds and public awareness of the plight of African children facing the devastating effects of the HIV/AIDS crisis. Proceeds from the CD will be divided between a number of charities, including Makumbi.
The trip to record the choir in Zimbabwe was organised and part-financed by Jesuit Missions in London: the Makumbi orphanage was established by the Jesuits (also known as the Society of Jesus) and cares for over 100 children from 0-18 years old.
