Dancing Kids from Uganda become a Viral sensation — but they really need our help
This group of inspiring kids from Uganda show off their amazing choreographed dance routines in viral videos, but behind the joy in their infectious smiles hides the tragedy of losing one or both parents to war, poverty and disease.
In spite of the tragedy that has marred their young lives, the children are radiant with hope
Masaka Kids Africana, is an organisation dedicated to supporting children in “education and social well being, through their talents.” The troupe is composed of Ugandan children aged two and above. They all are incredibly talented dancers and show off their awe-inspiring moves in charmingly choreographed routines set to African tunes; videos of which have gone viral.
The catchy and entertaining music videos incorporate the kids’ dancing talents with costumes, props, and a sneak peek into the culture of their village of Kayirikiti in Nyendo, Uganda.
However, the infectious energy of the children and the joy on their faces becomes all the more poignant once you learn the story behind Masaka Kids Africana.
