In 2003 the choir founded its own aids orphans foundation, Nkosi’s Haven Vukani. With the plight of South Africa’s sick and impoverished children at the top of their minds, the foundation supports families and organisations that receive little or no government support. Through touring worldwide the choir has raised international awareness of children orphaned by their parents dying of AIDS. This has resulted in audiences at every concert generously contributing money to Nkosis Havan Vukani so the charity can carry on the invaluable work and support  that gives hope to young children in the community of Soweto.
