Africa Needs You

Twitter is the quickest and easiest way to get a message out into the world. It’s popularity and openness make it the perfect platform to spread the word of the current famine in East Africa. However, a tweet is only as powerful as the person who tweets it - the larger your following, the more impact your message will have.

Some celebrities who mention brands, products and services to their followers are paid up to £10,000 per tweet! Wow! Typing 140 characters is a pretty easy way to earn that much money!

So, we’re asking all you super cool celebrities - why not donate your Twitter endorsement fees to Unicef? Let’s use that easy money to make a positive difference to the world! For the price of 140 characters, you can save hundreds of lives.

But, to get the attention of these celebrities, we need the help of the general public! Click on each picture below, to send each celebrity a prewritten tweet, asking for their help. With their support and vast social media reach, we really can make a difference to the millions of people who are suffering in Africa.

And remember, we need all the help we can get. Before you start tweeting at celebrities, please try and donate what ever you can yourself!

All donations go directly to
