A group of Ugandan street children, known as the Triplets Ghetto Kids, will be performing in the grand finale of the UK television show, Britain’s Got Talent.
The troupe has impressed judges and viewers with their vibrant dance routines and captivating smiles.
The children, who come from impoverished backgrounds in Kampala, were given a fresh start in life through the Inspire Ghetto Kids Foundation.
The foundation, established in 2007 by former teacher Dauda Kavuma, provides shelter, food, clothing, and education to homeless, orphaned, and disadvantaged children.
Based in the labyrinthine streets of Makindye, Kavuma’s foundation operates from a five-bedroom house, offering a safe haven for homeless, orphaned, and underprivileged children.
The foundation provides essential provisions such as shelter, food, clothing, and education.
Within its care, the foundation currently supports about 30 youngsters ranging from three to 18 years old, each with poignant narratives.
Some have been born as a result of rape, while others have tragically lost their parents and were forced to fend for themselves.
Despite their difficult pasts, the kids now have hope for a better future.
In 2014, the Ghetto Kids gained immense popularity on the internet with a homemade dance video set to the popular song “Sitya Loss” by Eddy Kenzo, who himself had risen to fame as a Ugandan orphan turned music star.
The viral video propelled the Ghetto Kids into the spotlight and brought them widespread recognition.
Kavuma’s foundation relies on donations, YouTube and TikTok earnings, and live concerts to support its mission of helping street children.
Kavuma’s dream is to expand the foundation and support even more children in need.
