Having already seen the lads meeting kids in school over in Africa, One Direction are back in another video, this time showing people how much of a difference donating £5 to Comic Relief can make to a dying child's life.
Heading over to Ghana at the beginning of the year, one of the lads' stops was to a children's hospital where they met with families of kids who are seriously ill.
Many of the children are suffering from things like malnutrition and pneumonia - both curable illnesses that money raised by Comic Relief and the lads' charity single will go towards funding medicines and vaccinations for.
Clearly affected by the gravity of the situation, Zayn said: "This is why it's
ridiculous, it only costs five pounds. This could prevent this from happening.
"That baby isn't even a year old and all it costs is five pounds. You just have to pick up the phone."
"That was probably the hardest thing I've ever had to do," Louis added.
Liam added. “It must be so difficult seeing your baby so ill. At home
we take vaccinations for granted, but not all children here have access
to them and that can mean the difference between life and death. You don’t realise how hard it can be in other parts of the world.”
Each
year 1.7 million children die from vaccine-preventable diseases around
the world, which equates to one child every 20 seconds.
Check it out for the videos!
