Rapper Kanye West and his wife Kim Kardashian West paid a visit to Wakiso's orphanage, the Masulita Children's Home in October last year. The two flew in on a private helicopter to attend a charity event hosted by the children's home -- the rapper performed for a crowd of over 100 children, including some of his newest music.
He danced along with the children and encouraged them to perform their own songs as well. West also brought brand new pairs of his Teezy Boost 250 v2s sneakers to give out to every kid that attended. He also followed up with additional donations of Beats speakers to elevate the children's overall music listening experience at the Masulita Children's Home.
