Causes 1

Benefit compilation from Waxploitation

Waxploitation established the Causes album series to benefit the work of Doctors Without Borders, Human Rights Watch and Oxfam America. Principally their efforts in Darfur.

Although estimates of the number of people killed by the conflict in Darfur vary widely from 200,000 to 400,000, what is certain is that more than 2 million people have fled their homes because of the fighting, and 4 million are in dire need of humanitarian assistance. It is widely accepted that this one of the worst crises in the world today.

Causes 1 was produced by Jeff Antebi and Brent Mullins with assistance from Jolene Chavez.
Causes 1 is mastered by Kelly Hibbert
