They were wonderful hosts to Ishirini on their tour to Tanzania in April 2009. Ishirini were pleased to be able to return the favour, hosting and joining Upendo on their tour to the UK in July 2010.
As well as being a group of excellent musical performers, Upendo has a strong commitment to missionary and philanthropic work in Tanzania. Using the profits from their recordings, the group has supported several vulnerable children through secondary school, and purchased a plot of land in Dar es Salaam with the vision of building a centre for vocational training and income-generating projects to create vital employment and skills training for young people.
