Habib Koité and Bamada
March 14 @ 7:00 PM
One in five children in Mali dies before the age of five and approximately half of these deaths are caused by hygiene-related preventable diseases. Did you know that washing hands can reduce the occurrence of these diseases by over 40 percent?
That’s why world renowned singer, guitarist and songwriter and Mali native Habib Koité participated in UNICEF’s Global Handwashing Day—to show his support for this important cause and raise consciousness about the value of washing hands among more than 10,000 children in Mali.
“We want things to change,” Koité said. “We’d like children to teach us – the older generation – how to eat properly and have better hygiene. I really hope that when kids go back home tonight, they tell their parents to wash their hands with soap.” Click here to read more here about Global Handwashing Day and UNICEF.
You can make a difference too! When you purchase a ticket to Habib Koité & Bamada, the Annenberg Center will donate 10% of your purchase to UNICEF to help fight preventable deaths among children due to poor hygiene.
Ignite all your senses! Join us for a pre-show chat with Habib Koite and sample the culinary traditions of Mali, prepared by Bintou Restaurant of Germantown. Pre-show activities begin at 5:30 and are free to ticket holders.
