Every two years, fourteen inspiring African Children's Choir graduates embark on an unforgettable eight-week tour along Australia’s eastern coast. They raise vital funds for the education of underprivileged children in Uganda, and with each performance, they share their stories and vibrant culture.
If you're part of a school or community choir and are interested in joining us for a part of an exciting tour, I'd love to hear from you!

A lively cultural exchange workshop for everyone—students, choir singers, and even the local community!
Enjoy drumming, singing, and sharing stories from Uganda and Kenya in a fun, relaxed environment.
All you need to do is find a venue, gather some choir members, families, and local community participants, and coordinate the logistics for the day.
We’ll provide the materials and activities, and you’ll help make sure everything flows smoothly. It’s a fun and easy way to bring people together for an unforgettable experience, and we’ll be here to support you every step of the way!

Australian Tour Co-ordinators
After joining KwaYa #8 in Uganda as a volunteer, Suzanne fell in love with our mission and jumped right in to help organise the "Colour My World UBUNTU Africa Australian Tour."
She’s now teaming up with Marsha Gusti, KwaYa’s Founder and President, who’s been coordinating this tour since 2013.
Together, they’re dedicated to making this tour a fun and memorable experience for both the Africans and Aussies who take part!
Our Bus Drivers
We have three wonderful volunteers who are giving up a huge amount of their personal time to help transport our special crew up the east coast of Australia.
Not only do they ensure everyone arrives safely, but they also play a crucial role in concert setup and behind-the-scenes logistics.
Their dedication is a vital part of the tour’s success, and we couldn’t do it without them!
