In light of the After Hours Til Dawn Tour, the “Blinding Lights” singer also collaborated with the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) to launch the XO Humanitarian Fund. For every tour ticket sold, one dollar will be donated to the fund. Each dollar will go toward making food more accessible to struggling communities in Ethiopia, Madagascar, and Yemen.
“With The Weeknd’s support, the U.N. World Food Programme is saving the lives of families and communities facing starvation,” the XO Humanitarian Fund page reads. “With your help, we can rush lifesaving food to the men, women, and children who depend on us.”
In addition, The Weeknd pledged to donate $500,000 to the UN WFP, and the United States WFP will donate one million dollars.
