Watching the Ghetto Kids @ghettokidstfug perform alongside @shakira at the FIFA World Cup is truly humbling.
As we celebrate this incredible milestone and their wonderful display of talent on the world stage, it’s only fitting to pay tribute to the group’s founder and trainer, Dauda Kavuma; musician @eddykenzoficial; the pioneering first cohort of the Ghetto Kids; and everyone who has shaped their journey to this moment.
For those who may not know, about 12 years ago Eddy Kenzo released his hit song Sitya Loss. Five young stars, Patricia, Bashir, Alex (RIP) and siblings Fred and Allan..danced to it and the clip was uploaded to YouTube. It quickly went viral and later featured in the official Sitya Loss music video with Eddy Kenzo. The rest, as they say, is history.
What has been most inspiring isn’t just that one viral moment, but the consistency, discipline, resilience, and hard work that followed with the different cohorts of the ‘ghetto kids’. They turned an opportunity into a legacy and continue to show the world what Ugandan talent can achieve.
Congratulations to the Ghetto Kids, the group’s founder Dauda Kavuma, Eddy Kenzo, and everyone who believed in them from the very beginning. Uganda is proud
An @ntvuganda blast from the past about the Group back then.
Who are the children in the famed "Sitya Loss" video?

Fun fact: Uganda is home to the world's highest concentration of habituated wild chimpanzees, making it the best place on Earth for chimpanzee trekking experiences and primate research.
On this #WorldChimpanzeeDay, we celebrate one of Uganda's greatest natural treasures and humanity's closest living relatives.
From the lush forests of Kibale National Park (home to more than 1,500) to Budongo Forest, Kalinzu Forest, Kyambura Gorge, Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary (@ngambaisland), and the Uganda Wildlife Conservation Education Centre (@UWEC_EntebbeZoo), Uganda offers exceptional opportunities to experience these remarkable primates while learning why their conservation matters.
As we continue showcasing the Pearl of Africa to the world, let us also reaffirm our commitment to protecting the forests and ecosystems that make these extraordinary encounters possible. We commend the Uganda Wildlife Authority (@ugwildlife) and all conservation partners whose dedication to protecting our wildlife and habitats ensures that future generations can continue to experience the wonder of Uganda's chimpanzees.
The world does not reward intentions, it rewards results. So go out and get results. No one is coming to save you. You can blame all you want but at the end of the day, it’s you against the World.

They say your 20s are for becoming whoever you choose to be.
For learning. For earning. For building. For taking risks. For making mistakes. And for discovering your purpose.
Looking back, my 20s have been exactly that. PART 1
