Bob’s widow, Rita Marley said, “Not one child should be denied food nor water. Not one child should suffer. Along with Save the Children, we [must] stand up together as friends to put a stop to this, to feed our children and to save their lives."

Save the Children is on the ground saving lives but we need your support to reach more children quickly.

Donna Mastropasqua, executive director of 1love.org, says, "1Love.org has a simple mission: to do good in honor of Bob Marley's vision of hope and unity. Together with the Marley family, we support this campaign which empowers people to act and make the world better. We must join as one world to help bring relief to this urgent crisis."
