Nansana Dance Kids
Dance. Dream. Grow.
Empowering vulnerable children through love, education, care, music and dance — and giving them a safe place to dream about a brighter future.
More than dance
A safe place to belong, learn and dream.
Nansana Dance Kids was founded in 2023 by Nakitende Zainah in Nansana, Uganda, as a safe space for orphans, vulnerable children and children who lack the basic support they need.
Through music and dance, the children share their joy, their stories and their dreams with the world. Behind every performance is a bigger mission: love, shelter, education and hope.
Dance is what the world sees.
Changing lives is what we do.
Dance & Creativity
A space to express stories, confidence, joy and talent through music and movement.
Education

Food & Care
Helping provide the everyday care children need to feel supported and protected.

This is Nansana
Dance gives their stories a voice.
Music and movement are at the heart of Nansana Dance Kids. Through dance, the children build confidence, creativity and connection — and share their joy with people around the world.
Our biggest dream
Help us build a safe, permanent home.
Our goal is to raise $100,000 for land preparation, construction, basic infrastructure and essential facilities for the children.
Your support can help create safe sleeping and living spaces, a clean kitchen, sanitation facilities and a stable place the children can truly call home.
$10 meals & care · $50 school supplies · $200 construction support

From hardship to a mission of love.
