Microfundo was founded on a simple premise: to change the world through music. Microfundo artists contribute music tracks to create compilation albums. Microfundo then teams up with music and dance programs already established in their respective countries as new models for social change whose work transforms the lives of children through music. Why music? Music is an instrument of social change. It inspires common human feelings and bridges gaps between cultures that spoken languages cannot. It brings people together. It builds identity and pride. By providing funding for music programs, Microfundo helps develop a social system that fights poverty. A child’s physical poverty is overcome by the spiritual richness that music provides. Music is a universal language. Through music we can teach everyone. Get Involved The Changing Lives Through Music movement is about empowering the lives of young people via music and dance. Check out all the ways to get involved.
