About SING

After personally witnessing Nelson Mandela describe the African HIV pandemic as genocide, with women and children becoming the frontline victims, Annie Lennox set out to try and do something about it.  That is how the SING campaign started: to raise funds and awareness to bring about support and change.  The money raised by SING helps prevent the spread of HIV in South Africa, and also supports those currently living with HIV.  The awareness it raises is just as valuable - education is a powerful tool.  Comic Relief manages the SING fund, and assists in coordinating the SING campaign. www.annielennoxsing.com
