Malaria charity album hopes to save lives

A new compilation album featuring songs performed by children affected by Malaria has been released to raise money for the fight against the infectious disease.

For every one Save My Soul - Music To Prevent Malaria record sold, two insecticide-treated mosquito nets will be bought for distribution in Zambia.

The album's producer, Edward Lyman, said: "We plan on saving more than 100,000 lives with this album.

"We followed the group to Africa, initially filming a documentary about its efforts. We were inspired by their story and used our resources to create a product that we know is going to save lives."

"To record this live album, we set up our microphones on location in bush camps, remote villages, orphanages, tribes, places of worship and inner cities."

Malaria kills in the region of 3,000 children a day, according to the World Health Organization and the United Nations Children's Fund.
