These appear to be for people in Africa, and to help those across the UK and in Japan, but not certain. It's similar to US Comic Relief.

I didn't know you had Comic Relief in America!

Hee. Didn't know you had it in the UK.

US Comic Relief dates back to 1990s, I think. Started with Billy Crystal, Whoopie Goldberg and Robin Williams - to help the homeless, then branched out for Haiti and Katrina.

Current Mission is Haiti.

Comic Relief was founded in the UK in 1985 by the comedy scriptwriter Richard Curtis and Alexander Mendis in response to famine in Ethiopia, and - inspired by it - the US version was founded the next year. :)

I looked up Comic Relief in wiki and found nothing. You did a better search than I did. ;-)
