About Ghetto Kids

Ghetto Kids   is an NGO (Inspire Triplets Ghetto Kids) from Kampala, Uganda, East Africa.

Founded by Dauda Kavuma, a former street kid himself. Ghetto Kids comprises orphaned, street kids, and vulnerable children (60 children), with 18 performers ranging in age from 2 to 18 years, using music, dance, and drama to achieve education, food, health care, accommodations, and clothing.

At their young and impressionable age, the kids have resorted to using music, dance and drama as a way of staying away from the   violence   that they experienced on the streets.

With the assistance and guidance of their guardian Kavuma Dauda, Ghetto Kids raise money from their live performances and when they are hired to dance to music of various artists in  music videos. This is further supplemented by donations from a few individual well-wishers. All the money is used to assist in providing them with a safe place to live, food, clothing, medical expenses,  and to pay for their education. All the (60) Ghetto Kids members live   together. Because Kavuma did something radically different from most people, the world is now able to learn a little more about the millions of ignored children across the globe. Making Lives Better Through Dance.
