KwaYa supports The African Children's Choir in their sponsorship program that provides an avenue for vulnerable children to gain an education from primary school to university. With an impressive record of helping over 54,000 children we highly recommend the rewarding experience of sponsoring an African child to become a future leader of Africa.
PARTNERSHIP
We believe when like-minded people gather together for a common purpose, magic erupts.
In 2011, thirty five KwaYa adventurers set off on a trip from Australia to Uganda to work in the slums with The African Children's Choir.
Such was the success of the exchange, a unique partnership was born and has become a force unto itself.
ACC has since hosted KwaYa in Uganda a further five times. Over 200 Aussies have been afforderd the opportunity to experience a grass roots and life-changing journey working with an organisation that boasts a 34-year history with spectacular results.
KwaYa's seventh trip to Uganda is in September / October 2019.
"If your heart had a bucket list, this trip would fill it."
Adrian Lehane - KwaYa # 4
After having been warmly hosted by The African Children's Choir in Uganda, we thought it only polite to return the hospitality.
In 2013, fourteen members of the 42nd African Children's Choir boarded a plane and headed to Australia to commence a three-month tour of the eastern coast.
Visits were made to local schools and community choirs where culture, music, dance, fun and laughter were shared and cherished.
A further three trips have taken place with the most recent being with UBUNTU Africa in April to July 2018. UBUNTU Africa is made up of secondary school graduates of The African Children's Choir.
Funds raised on tour build new classrooms whilst hundreds of sponsorships are signed benefiting hundreds of vulnerable children in Africa
We provide opportunities for individuals from different cultures to perform and engage in cross cultural musical exchanges and participate in altruistic life-changing projects.
We raise funds for vulnerable children in Africa by running cultural exchange tours for Australians in Uganda and Africans in Australia.
"Music for life (ACC) is an institution that lives to love the unlovable. Figuratively it is made up of fathers and mothers that never bore us, brothers and sisters that never met us, hands and eyes that never touched us, but minds that perceived us, hearts that loved us…"
