Damien Marley and friends release an album to fund an irrigation channel in an Ethiopian village

Damien Marley teamed up with the West Coast underground's finest including among others Heavyweight Dub Champion, FreQ Nasty, David Starfire, Ooah, BLVD, SoulEye, and Cheb i Sabbah. Together these artists - already having raised thousands of dollars - are close to their goal of raising $8,000 to excavate an irrigation system in Ethiopia from the Awash River to the farms of Gara Dima so that the people of Gara Dima drink of this life-giving water during times of brutal drought.

This campaign is still active and you can help!

Help Gara Dima's now-barren farms produce mangoes, papayas, and many kinds of vegetables if they were irrigated by the water from the nearby Awash River. This irrigation project will help to end Gira Dima's food crisis and save its children from dying of malnutrition!! And 100% of money donated (minus paypal fees) goes directly to support this important work.

A special thanks from the giveback family to all those artists and fans who have already supported this important project. We are looking forward to continuing this work in 2010!
