Part of the proceeds of the votes that will be casted by the public on April 24th broadcast will be donated to the indigents of Africa. Big sponsors like Coca Cola and Ford have already made their donations, and other corporate companies are also called upon to make a donation.

The funds that will be raised will be announced on the results night the day after, with matching performances by various celebrities. Donations will go to Unicef to uplift the lives of children in Africa and combat malaria there.
