About the African Children’s Choir: The African Children’s Choir is composed of African children, aged 7-10 years old. Many have lost one or both parents through the devastation of war, famine and disease. They represent all the children of a continent and they demonstrate the potential of African children to become strong leaders for a better future in their land. The first choir was formed in 1984, selected from orphaned and vulnerable children in the Kampala and Luwero areas of Uganda.
