Happy children in Ghana

The African Children’s Choir™ works together with Living Stone Christian School to ensure that 200 children living in the small coastal village of Esiama have access to an education. Prior to joining the program, these children had been forced to drop out of school because their parents could no longer afford to take care of their needs.

We also sponsor the education of 12 former Choir members at the school.
