The Choir has partnered with King’s Kids Primary School and provides sponsorship for the education of some 80 needy children in the program. Living in extremely poor rural conditions, the opportunities to obtain an education are rare.

12 former Choir children are sponsored at the King’s Kids Academy and will continue to be supported by the Choir throughout their education.

In addition to covering the education costs for children in the Choir program in these six countries, the Choir also ensures that they have food, clothing and medical care. This helps them both physically and academically. Throughout these countries camps and seminars are also held regularly for former Choir members to help them develop strong interpersonal and leadership skills.
