Proceeds from Keane's new song 'The Night Sky' will go to War Child, to benefit children in war torn Iraq.
In Iraq, War Child works on a number of initiatives that offer support and protection to children living in this war-ravaged country. These include drop-in centres where children who live or work on the streets can find some security, food and educational; and social advocacy programs that help to reintegrate children who have been in conflict with the law back into their families and communities.Keane single funds War Child's work in Iraq.
