JOIN TOGETHER TO FOSTER JOY, COMMITMENT AND A SENSE OF BELONGING.
I Have a Voice Joyous Choir
Our Mission is to empower vulnerable children through the transformational power of music.
We provide vulnerable children in orphanages across Mexico with access to a life-changing choral program.
Through singing, they experience joy, develop confidence, foster discipline, build self-esteem, and gain lifelong skills.
Why our program matters
Global Issue
Orphaned and vulnerable children face significant emotional, educational, and developmental challenges throughout their lives.
An estimated 131,000 Mexican children are without family care due to a range of circumstances. Across the globe, there are an estimated 147 Million orphaned children.
Music as the vehicle for change
Research shows music improves cognitive development, emotional regulation, social skills, and academic performance.
Our program uses the therapeutic mechanism of music to promote connection, a sense of belonging, improved academic results, enhanced school engagement and personal growth.
Sustainable Impact
Our unique “Choir-in-a-Box” model provides tools, training, and professional choir masters to create significant, lasting, scalable impact.
Through the development achieved in our program, children experience healing from previous trauma, improved self-confidence, a sense of belonging and community to also rediscover a sense of belief in themselves to carry forward for the rest of their lives.
““When I sing, I feel happy. I forget my problems and feel part of something beautiful.””
