The Watoto Children’s Choir traveling from Africa kicked-off their six month U.S tour in Queen Creek, Arizona on Saturday Dec. 14 and are continuing their tour through the west coast—ending in Washington in April. The group will be performing in Covington on April 6 at 10:30 a.m. at Solid Rock Community Church.

The Watoto Children’s Choir acts as Watoto ambassadors to raise awareness about the plight of the orphaned and vulnerable children of Africa. Watoto is a holistic child-care solution initiated to serve the dire needs of Africa and her people.

Each of the children in the choir has suffered the loss of one or both parents. They live in Watoto Children’s Villages where they receive the care and nurture they need to grow up as productive citizens of their own country.
