• For Children, By Children

    We Have One World (WHOW) is a youth-led charity initiative that brings together talented young musicians to make a real difference through the power of music.

    Our performers may be young, but their hearts are full of purpose. They’re not just making music, they’re standing up for children who need a voice.

    By combining passion with purpose, WHOW empowers the next generation to raise funds and awareness for causes that matter, including our ongoing support for Save the Children.

  • What is your mission and vision?

    Mission: Our mission is to empower young people to use their creativity and talent to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.

    Vision: Our vision is a world where young people lead the way in creating positive change – where creativity, empathy, and action come together to support every child’s right to a safe, healthy, and hopeful future.

  • Our upcoming concert (September 28, 2025) marks the 5th We Have One World event - proudly continuing our tradition of children helping children through music.
