Commonwealth Day Celebrations: Uganda’s Ghetto Kids wow U.K. Royal Family

Aged 7-14, the young dancers put on a characteristically high-energy show of the kind which won over the hearts of the British public at last year’s Britain’s Got Talent finals.

The performance was part of wider celebrations to mark the 75th annual Commonwealth Day, kicking off a week of activities around the globe.

Along with their stage talents, The Ghetto Kids bring a message of hope in the fight against malaria, a disease they have first-hand experience of at home in Uganda which has the third highest proportion of cases globally (WHO, 2023).

They will discuss their Commonwealth Day experience and the progress being made to end malaria with Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, Lord David Cameron, at a lunch tomorrow (12.03.24).
