"AIDS is no longer just a disease it is a human rights issue."
--Nelson Mandela

46664 is the campaign created by the Nelson Mandela Foundation to
bring attention to the crisis of HIV/AIDS throughout the world. In November 2004, Josh Groban met with Mr. Mandela during his tour of South Africa, and pledged his support as an ambassador for the 46664 program, declaring it "a life-altering experience." "I'm going to be like his servant. I'll do whatever he wants me to do, anytime, in order to raise awareness about AIDS. I'm going to avail myself for any concert or event Mandela wants me to." Join in the fight to save victims of HIV/AIDS throughout the world by signing the global petition, making a donation, or purchasing clothing or music from the 46664 site.

"Every minute, a child dies of AIDS. But when it's so easy to keep a child alive, how can we say no?" --Alicia Keyes

Nearly 3 million children living in the world today are victims of
AIDS....and another 700,000 continue to contract the disease each year. Over 95% of them live in impoverished areas of the world where medical treatment is not available or affordable. Keep A Child Alive seeks to prolong and enrich the lives of children and parents stricken with HIV/AIDS in Africa and other impoverished areas of the world by providing access to antiretroviral medical treatment. Contributions to KACA go directly to providing life-saving medicine to those in desperate need. Make a donation, buy and wear a bracelet in support, or download an action kit to organize a donation appeal in your local area.

"Peace is possible, and children are the answer. Teach them while they are young and a better world is theirs. Abandon them, and chaos and hate will rule their lives. Every voice counts and we need yours." --Quincy Jones

Every year, in every corner of the globe, millions of children are affected
by violence. . . killed, injured, or left homeless by the chaos surrounding them. On May 16, 2004, dozens of the world's music artists and celebrities banded together at Rome's Circus Maximus under the direction of Quincy Jones to hold the first We Are the Future concert. WATF raises awareness of the plight of children in war-torn areas and seeks to break the cycle of poverty and violence through the establishment of child centers in each area. These centers provide healthy food, health care, and education, as well as training for empowerment and leadership skills, ensuring a more hopeful future. To help, buy the live concert CD, download the single of the WATF anthem, buy the book or DVD, or just make a donation.

UK residents can download a fundraising pack to help prepare for next year's appeal.

Unite Against Hunger is an amazing project working to combat the
crisis of child hunger in South Africa through corporate sponsorship and private food donations, which are distributed to hungry children. One of their beneficiaries, the African Children's Feeding Scheme (ACFS), provides a daily meal to thousands of children at various sites throughout Africa. Josh's first tour in South Africa was dedicated in support of Unite Against Hunger, including an exclusive gala dinner featuring Josh and performances by other local musicians. South Africans can make a food donation, those in other countries can make a financial contribution to help eliminate child hunger.
