The Foundation is based in Kampala and Masaka districts of Uganda and was founded 25 years ago to look after orphaned and destitute children. It is a Christian organisation registered as a Ugandan NGO (the equivalent of UK charitable status) and today runs a group of schools and a clinic, providing education, food, shelter and healthcare for nearly 3,000 pupils at the following schools - New Kabale Busega School Kibuye High School Wheeling Primary School Peter K Gad Primary School Kamuzinda Primary School Kamuzinda High School Kamuzinda Farm School.

If you wish to volunteer in the UK or at the schools - click here or to donate through The Pearl of Africa Children's Choir Ltd. - using the secure PayPal system - click here From UK supporters we collect one-off and regular contributions, to cover bursaries for pupils, for teachers’ salaries, for food, medicines and other expenses. We transmit the money direct to Uganda , where it is applied by the schools in accordance with an agreed business plan. The Pearl of Africa Children's Choir Ltd is run by a small group of volunteers who do not seek reimbursement of the admin expenses. Hence, we can assure supporters that the full amount of donations raised in the UK reaches Uganda to fund the work there. We also help organise the annual UK fund-raising tour of the Pearl of Africa Children's Choir which has been established for over 20 years. The Choir, of some 20 children (aged 7 to 20 years) drawn from all the Molly & Paul schools, offers workshops introducing British children to Ugandan music, dance, handicrafts and culture, and gives public performances. Both the workshops and performances are widely acclaimed, and many television and radio appearances have resulted. For information about the Autumn 2010 Tour, please click here. Through The Pearl of Africa Children's Choir Ltd. you can be certain that the money you give will reach the Foundation in Uganda to meet the needs of the children. This means that, with the benefit of tax relief through the Gift Aid scheme, every £15 you donate is worth nearly £20 when it reaches Uganda. |
