Admission is free; a free-will offering will be collected to support the Choir’s education, care, and relief programs in Africa.

For the past 25 years, the African Children’s Choir has entertained millions at special events around the world, raising awareness of the plight of Africa’s most vulnerable, but also showing the dignity and potential of each African child.

The Choir currently cares for over 7,000 children in Uganda, Kenya, South Africa, Rwanda, Sudan, Nigeria and Ghana.

All of the Choir children have come from extreme poverty; many have lost at least one parent. Yet in spite of their circumstances the children radiate hope. They know that because of the African Children’s Choir their lives will change. The Choir is committed to helping these children physically, spiritually, emotionally and academically, giving each child an opportunity to reach their potential.
