About | Walkfree Academy

Walkfree Kids

Walkfree is one extended family structure. These kids don't live in the same house and are coming from different homes. The spend most of their time at the center with a child officer/ mother and siblings, who loves them. They take each other as siblings, the children find safety and hope at the center and some call it home.

Our mission is to save kids and use their talent to find people who love them to support their education.

Walkfree Kids Center is currently caring for 23 children ages 6 and above, each with a unique life story.

By keeping these kids in school we hope to give them a foundation that will help them succeed in life and one day be able to give back to their community and the world.

Their Performances are marvelous

The children melt the hearts of audiences with their charming smiles and delightful African tunes, accompanied by vibrant dance moves.

Nearly every performance is concluded with a thunderous standing ovation. A marvelous by-product of the concert is the inspiration the music brings to virtually every listener. In spite of the tragedy that has marred their young lives, the children are radiant with hope, musically gifted and wonderfully entertaining.

"Performing Arts is not just an idea, but a value we have that acts as a steppingstone in changing the lives of children belonging to low socio-economic sections of our society." - Kizito Henry Team Leader
