Who We Are
The Daraja Children's Choir of Africa is essentially an international Hope Exchange. Just like a gift exchange or a student exchange program, we each have something to offer the other.
Out of the most desperate of circumstances, these children possess unbelievable amounts of hope--which they offer freely through their songs, laughter, joy and incredible passion for the Lord.
In exchange, we can offer them hope for their future. Traveling with the Daraja Children's Choir gives them the chance to broaden their horizons, widen their world-perspective, deepen their leadership skills, and open the scope of their imagination. We invest in their future and the future of the nation of Kenya.
