The African Children's Choir was founded in 1984. A new choir is formed every year, when children from the previous year return to school in Africa, their education entirely funded by the choir. They have established schools and educational scholarships in Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya, Sudan, Nigeria, Ghana and South Africa, raising funds through their performances around the world.
