Children in the Democratic Republic of the Congo are facing an incredibly diresituation. They are caught in the midst of one of the world's most challenginghumanitarian crises. Here, armed conflict is an unfortunate everyday reality, and it's heartbreaking to knowthat children are often recruited and compelled to become child soldiers. These younglives are enduring severe human rights violations, along with a multitude of dailyhardships, including poverty, sexual violence, disease, and limited access to essentialresources like food and clean water. It's a harsh reality where the rights of thesechildren are persistently disregarded, and they are frequently subjected to violence byarmed groups, with some even being abducted and forced into military service. This isa situation that needs urgent attention and support to ensure the safety and well-being of these young individuals.We thank The Social Organization for the Development of Children in theirEnvironment for taking the time to work with the children and take part in ourcompetition with such a wonderful performance.FINALISTClickHereToPlayVideo

FINALISTFINALISTUgandaHis Grace OrphanageDancingCompetition

The His Grace Orphans Ministry is a heartfelt non-profit charity organization rooted in Christianprinciples, located in the serene region of Masaka, nestled along the shores of Lake Victoria.Pastor Ssengoba Stephen's journey into this ministry was forged through his own challengingupbringing. He hails from a family that grappled with poverty and disarray, unable to provide evenbasic education. At the tender age of 7, he found himself on the streets, a young survivor facing theharsh realities of life. It was during these difficult times that Stephen crossed paths with acompassionate Samaritan, a benevolent Canadian woman named Carol, who was on a mission inUganda. Carol became Stephen's guardian angel, opening the doors to education andtransforming his life in every conceivable way—physically, mentally, emotionally, and in termsof his overall well-being.Inspired by his remarkable journey, Stephen felt a profound calling to give back to the kids he onceshared the streets with.One of the most fulfilling activities the ministry engages in with thesechildren is aptly named the "Service Opportunity." Through this initiative, they venture into thecommunity, identify elderlyindividuals in need of assistance. They wholeheartedly dedicatethemselves to providing both emotional support and physical aid to these deserving individuals,spreading joy and hope. Of course, there are numerous other activities taking place at the center,but this particular mission shines as a beacon of happiness and compassion in their work.ClickHereToPlayVideo
