TRANSFORM LIVES THROUGH THE POWER OF MUSIC

We use music to empower young people in Africa, helping them achieve better health, education, and equality. We believe in a world where everyone has the opportunity to fulfil their potential and thrive.
our work
At Brass for Africa, we believe that everyone deserves the right to opportunity and the freedom to dream, regardless of their circumstances.
Music is a universal language that transcends borders and barriers. It does not discriminate against race, socio-economic background, ability, or disability. Through music, we are directly tackling the critical challenges of Health, Education, and Equality, providing pathways out of poverty that would otherwise be out of reach.
