TESTIMONIALS

What Our Choir Members Say ?

More than 99% members satisfaction in our success story.

Kuendesha shughuli za kwaya yetu kumekuwa rahisi sana kwa kutumia zana za kidijitali za UKWAKATA. Sasa tunasimamia usajili, matukio, na fedha kwa weledi.

Mafunzo ya vyombo vya muziki yanayotolewa na UKWAKATA hayawezi kulinganishwa. Nilianza na akodi rahisi, sasa naandika muziki kwa ajili ya misa.

UKWAKATA inahamasisha nidhamu, umoja, na imani kupitia muziki. Athari kwa wanachama wetu vijana ni kubwa mno.
