In 2007, Waxploitation established the Causes benefit album series to help the people dying in the crisis in Darfur. The money we raise with Causes 1 and Causes 2 goes to Human Rights Watch, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières and Oxfam America.

Although estimates of the number of people killed by the conflict in Darfur vary widely from 200,000 to 400,000, what is certain is that more than 2 million people have fled their homes because of the fighting, and 4 million are in dire need of humanitarian assistance. It is widely accepted that this one of the worst crises in the world today.
