There is nothing more heartbreaking than kids who’ve lost their parents.
Uganda has more orphans than any other country in the world, with millions of young children who are left parentless due to tragic circumstances like the AIDS epidemic, extreme poverty and decades of civil conflict. In the midst of all the tragedy, there’s a silver lining in the form of a group called the Masaka Kids Africana.
This will bring tears to your eyes!
With this clip, Masaka Kids Africana went for their endearing and impressive dance moves.
Masaka Kids Africana is an organization that sponsors children in Uganda who have lost one or both parents to tragedy. They use song and dance to help these kids navigate through the scary world they’ve been dealt, along with finding purpose, love, connection and so many other essential qualities.
Through social media, Masaka Kids Africana has given more than 2.4 million children who’ve been orphaned a huge platform to share their inspiring dance videos. In this video, a small group of dancers from Masaka Kids Africana do a brilliant dance to “Jerusalema” by Master KG Feat. Nomcebo & Burna Boy.
When the video starts, three young boys from Masaka Kids Africana do some incredible choreography together before more kids join in.
The boys do amazing dances in unison, while also breaking into solo dances where they show off their own moves. That’s when the video begins flashing to other kids who are sponsored by MSK dancing before they all come together to do an outstanding dance routine.
It’s not just the heartwarming nature of the dances that make this video so wonderful, the skill these kids have is up there with professional dancers.
The kids dancing exude joy throughout the entire video, each one bright and shining lights of inspiration.
Toward the end of the video, more kids from MSK join the dancing before the video flashes to one young boy alone in the jungle while he reaches for the sky and sings the song.
The last part of the video shows one final group of young dancers smiling from ear-to-ear while they dance in front of a house in their village in Uganda.
This isn’t the only heart-melting video the Masaka Kids Africana have on the internet; in fact, they’ve become semi-famous for their impressive dance moves.
Through their touching videos and breathtaking talent, Masaka Kids Africana have gained a huge following. Their YouTube channel with 257,000 subscribers is full of extraordinary performances, many of which go viral.
Using music from famous artists like Drake and Chris Brown, MSK dances their hearts out in each video bringing joy to people from all around the world.
Drake even helped MSK go viral by shouting out their performance to his song “Tootsie Slide” which ultimately catapulted them to internet stardom. It’s easy to see why videos like their performance to “Jerusalema” go viral—millions of people have been inspired by that one video alone.
The video of MSK dancing to “Jerusalema” has already been viewed over 5.2 million times, with 77,000 people who liked it.
Uploaded only a month ago in October of 2020, it didn’t take long for their performance to spread around the internet.
On top of the views and likes, over 1,500 people also left comments for the young dancers. If anyone deserves to be seen, it’s these kids who have had so much taken from them at such a young age. Masaka Kids Africana does so much to help these children, but they can’t do it alone. If you’d like to donate to their cause, you can do so through this link to their website.
