WALKFREE KIDS 

Performing for Education

OUR MISSION: To empower children exploit their talents to earn love and school fees that keeps them in school.

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.

Walkfree Kids are Young Creative & Performing Ambassadors 

Walkfree kids represents the dreams, aspirations and desires of the so many homeless, street-connected kids of Masaka.

 

Many marginalized kids in Masaka have watched Walkfree kids go back to school using their own gifts and art. Through our mainly musical projects we help re-assure the rest that there's still hope for every child out there in dare need of day today basic necessities.

Help Us Construct The First Performing Arts school in Uganda

Walkfree intends to expand the Healing through Arts Program by building the first-ever free formal and performing arts education school in Masaka-Uganda. This school will cater for 100 gifted girls and boys who are indigent or orphaned. The Walkfree Kids Academy requires an investment of just $ 84,467. This will be the first FREE formal and Performing Arts Education academy for indigent girls and boys in Uganda.

As much as Uganda is known for its rich entertainment and arts culture – Arts education is not accessible to children in the slums and low-income homes. Our school will change that narrative – we will provide the necessary introduction of performing arts to young indigent children who desire performing opportunities, rehearsal & training facilities and a career in performing arts. Our School will provide free formal education, performing arts education, daily meals (3 times a day), healthcare, shelter and general welfare to 100 children.

"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
