Lament for the Innocents is a project based on a song and video to raise awareness of all those victims of conflict - and particularly children - and to try and raise money to allow Médecins sans Frontières (MSF) to  continue to help them. This song was born out of our anger at the continuing violence around the world  particularly in the Middle East, and especially in Syria, and at our frustration that we, like many, couldn't do anything practical to help those who are its most  innocent victims.

Médecins sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders  is the world’s leading emergency medical humanitarian aid organisation. They provide emergency assistance to people affected by armed conflict, epidemics and natural or man-made disasters, without discrimination and irrespective of race, religion, gender or political affiliation. They work in over 60 countries and go to places where others cannot or choose not to go.They are active in Syria.

We've chosen to support MSF because they are an effective and focussed organisation working in the most dangerous conditions to help those around the world who are most directly affected by violence and war. You too can help by giving generously!
