WORLD ON FIRE
Canadian musician Sarah McLachlan incorporated
footage from locations across the developing world into
her music video “World on Fire.” The video, released in
fall 2004, contrasts the cost of entertainment in Western nations to poverty, talent, and good deeds across four continents in the rest of the world. The video concludes
with footage of:Tabitha Clinic’s Collins Ajwang giving reproductive health classes; Tabitha Festo giving porridge
to a malnourished baby as part of CFK's Home-Based
Care program; and then a CFK soccer game on a rainy
day. Ms. McLachlan donated $148,270 (the cost to
produce the music video) to selected charities around
the world. CFK received $30,000 to purchase a new clinic
and a six-month supply of medicine. The Omidyar
Network then graciously matched Ms. McLachlan's
donation.
