National Youth Orchestra of Kenya
The National Youth Orchestra of Kenya was inspired by Venezuela’s El Sistema program and its success in bringing communities together while developing national pride through music participation. KNYO was founded in 2010 as a leadership, social-integration (across cultural, age, socio-economic, ethnic barriers) and musical leadership program. The orchestra encourages, nurtures and showcases their talent.

Located in Kampala, Uganda, God’s Love School and Home stems from a dire need for orphan care in Kampala and surrounding areas. Founded by James Mukiibi in 2007, GLH cares, provides, and educates orphans regardless of their faith and backgrounds. Musicians for the World is currently providing them with weekly virtual choir lessons.
