All of us here know the power of music. It’s helped each of us at some point of our lives. But in war, there is no music. There is only unthinkable noise. And deafening silence.

These are the places Musicians Without Borders bring music to. They run projects in conflict zones around the world, helping communities there use music to fight silence and overcome trauma - one song at a time.

Music’s always been there for you when you need it. This holiday season, we invite you to bring to those who’ve lost everything - to remind them of the one thing they haven’t lost: themselves.

In return for donating real instruments to people around the world, Musicians Without Borders have kindly supplied us with a limited number of imaginary ones. For every donation, you can choose a high quality Air Guitar.

Good festive vibes are guaranteed with these artisanally fabricated instruments. Each one comes with its own certificate of authenticity. They’re suitable for all levels of experience, come with free shipping and are 100% carbon neutral. (Left handed models available on request.)

Thanks for your support - we wish you holidays filled with peace, hope and rock n’roll.

What's an Air Guitar?

An air guitar is an imaginary guitar that a person pretends to play. It is a form of movement and performance where an individual mimes the action of playing an electric or acoustic guitar, including elaborate strumming, picking motions, riffs, and solos, often while listening to loud rock or heavy metal music. Your choice of music is completely up to you, of course!

Is my donation tax deductible?

When you donate through Source Elements, no. However, if you are a Dutch or US resident and you would like to donate directly to Musicians Without Borders, you are eligible for tax benefits. Read here for more information.

Around the world right now, millions of people are defying the odds. They are hanging in there, still existing, still loving and breathing and maybe even laughing. They resist giving up. They refuse to stop. They keep on going. You may even be one of them.

And maybe the reason you're here to read this is because when everything seemed impossible and you couldn't go on, you still had one place you could turn — and that was music.

For Musicians Without Borders, music is the way to resist those feelings of hopelessness in the world around us. They bring people together in brave collaborations that use music to overcome fear and silence, and to build communities. This helps people fight back against despair, frustration, and oppression

Music has the power to get us through the toughest moments in our lives. If you are lucky enough that those moments were simply a bad break-up or getting fired, that's ok. You still know its power. It got you this far.

Now you get to give it to people who've lost everything — to help them resist despair, fear, anger.
