On Instagram, young Uganda children have gained popularity and recognition through joyous performances, showcasing a celebration of life and community with African dancing and popular TikTok trends. The account (@allan_children_foundation) has now gained a following from a lot of people around the globe while also having a mass following of 700,000 followers on TikTok.
The home in which these young children are educated, supported and empowered is called Allan Children’s Foundation, a non-profit charity organization founded by Allan Kato in 2019.
New Beginnings
Having experienced poverty himself as a child, Allan’s family had struggled with maintaining financial support for his academics. His upbringing was one of homelessness and trauma yet he maintained faith in himself by spending a lot of time on social media where he got inspired by a lot of humanity work.
The love he has for children inspired him to start his own journey for the foundation. By age 20, Allan had established the Allan Children’s Foundation, a place for the homeless, hopeless and families for orphaned children with a lot of amazing skills.
Moving Forward
With the help and support of Allan Children’s Foundation, young Ugandan orphaned children are mobilized into classrooms and homes where they are taught formal education, leadership and technological skills in order to sustain their personal lives.
Other programs at Allan Children’s Foundation also include farming. Their website states that each child has a portion of land – a way to evolve self-sustaining skills and financial independence through agricultural practices.
Part of this program teaches the importance of “working hard, communicating and caring for others” while also encouraging sustainability.
Allan’s efforts with Allan Children’s Foundation have educated over 100 orphaned children, according to their Instagram. Allan’s endearment towards the students has led to a father relationship with each of the children, emphasizing the importance of family as the basis for personal growth.
