'Idol Gives Back' returns to US screens tonight. Bono takes part in a piece filmed recently in Kenya.

Tonight's special is set to raise funds to benefit six charities including: the Children's Defense Fund, The Global Fund, Make It Right, Malaria No More, Save The Children, U.S. Programs and the Children's Health Fund.
