The official 2010 Fifa World Cup album that featured Kenyan
artiste Nameless among other artistes has raised more than Sh215 million
through worldwide sales of the album and its singles.
The album titled Listen Up! Features Nameless’ single One
Day, a collaborative effort between him and Jewish reggae singer Matisyahu.
According to www.fifa.com, the majority of the proceeds from
the project have been designated by Sony Music, the artists and Fifa to be
contributed to 20 Centres for 2010, the official campaign of the 2010 Fifa
World Cup.
The remainder has been donated to various other charitable causes in Africa. 20 Centres for 2010 was initiated by Fifa to encourage positive social change in disadvantaged communities across Africa by building 20 Football for Hope Centres for education, public health and football. The centres help to promote social and human development through football long after the World Cup, leaving a tangible social legacy.
