The African Children’s Choir works to bridge cultural gaps and spread hope and joy while shining the spotlight on the desperate plight of children in Africa. Money raised through donations and ticketed concerts supports numerous schools that have been established throughout Uganda and other African countries over the past 20 years, as well as the ongoing establishment of new schools. Donations also finance educational scholarships so children can attend schools beyond those operated by Music For Life, and support emergency relief efforts that ensure destitute children and their families receive the food, clothing, medical assistance and counselling they need to survive and flourish.
Each year, a new Choir is selected and the Choir children from the previous year return to their homelands to attend schools sponsored by Music For Life. While the children are on tour, Music for Life has legal guardianship.
Many former Choir members continue in college and university programs, where they train to become doctors, engineers or other professional leaders in Africa. Others receive vocational and technical training, developing the skills they need to lead productive, fulfilling lives.
A local school chose the African Children’s Choir as their annual charity and Express Yourself donated prizes to the school’s fundraising activities.
