Why Sponsor Through Matsiko?
Matsiko is one of the only child sponsorship organizations that provides a child with the highest level of education they can obtain in their own country so they can break the cycle of poverty.
Matsiko’s music program encourages youth of all ages to sing, dance and perform. Our national children’s touring choirs bring children to villages, towns and cities where they perform for wide audiences including government officials and dignitaries. This builds confidence and poise. All students can participate in these choirs. Our top students are given an opportunity to tour with the Matsiko World Orphan Choir.
Matsiko World Orphan Choir
The mission of Matsiko World Orphan Choir is to use the unifying power of music to uplift every child, bring joy to all who listen, and to inspire generosity that provides a complete education for vulnerable children.
Matsiko World Orphan Choir has been called "the greatest ambassador for our world's 600 million orphaned and at-risk children," by US Senators and Congress people. Many others have called Matsiko, "the greatest children's choir," and Disneyland actually called the choir, "our world's treasure!" The choir shares their vision of hope with appearances at professional sporting events, universities, schools, churches, festivals, and retirement homes. Whether you meet them in your hometown, or hear them on the radio or TV, Matsiko World Orphan Choir is truly a force for good that impacts many of our most vulnerable children all around the world!
Proceeds generated by the choir go directly to support MCI's worldwide programs, including life-changing educational sponsorships, free after school tutoring programs, and in-country Learning Centers that provide a safe haven, food, sports, arts, and leadership programs.
