That simple song of dignity and hope became the catalyst for a program that has changed the lives of thousands of children.
From there, the African Children’s Choir was born. Rallying support from the west, The choir serves as the main fundraising branch for its parent organization, Music For Life Institute, with proceeds from the choir’s work used to fund Christian education and relief efforts for African children affected by poverty and disease.
