EVERY CHILD MATTERS

EVERY CHILD MATTERS (ECM) TOUR 2008

In 2008 Ben Okafor is preparing to embark on a unique and vital Tour, performing a powerful programme of solo acoustic music and poetry, specifically to raise awareness of the needs of children affected by HIV & AIDS and to elicit a practical response. In partnership with The Bethany Children's Trust (BCT), he will seek to call Christians, churches and communities to play their part in restoring the lives of children affected by the disease.

Globally, around 15 million children have been orphaned as a result of HIV, and 12 million of these are in Africa. 40 million children and adults are living with HIV (UNAIDS 2005).

These concerts are not designed purely for entertainment. Built into each confirmed concert booking will be the expectation of purposeful follow-up. The BCT has a proven track record in developing church-led, community-based responses to children in crisis and currently partners with seven Christian childcare projects in Africa.
