The world sends us garbage,
we send back music.

Transform Lives with Music: Donate to the Recycled Orchestra of Cateura

Give the gift of music to children in Cateura, Paraguay. Cateura is a community unlike any other. Built on a landfill, it's home to over 2,500 families facing poverty and limited opportunities. But amidst the hardship, a beacon of hope shines bright: the Recycled Orchestra of Cateura. Founded by GO Campaign Local Hero Favio Chávez, this orchestra gives children a chance to create beautiful music using instruments made entirely from recycled materials found in the landfill itself. What began with just 10 students in a makeshift shed has blossomed into a program serving over 200 youth.
