KCC launches a workshop for girls called "Kgomotso girls of success". Guest speakers are Katlego Segole, a board member of KCC, Dipuo Matsaung, a tutor from the University of Johannesburg, Sophy Modise, a donor to KCC, and Diana Mayer, a coordinator from National Treasury. They will talk with girls about their potentials and who they are. The workshop will aim at empowering the girls to be self-confident and self-esteemed.
Children of KCC are invited to go on a camp in the countryside.

"What counts in life is not the mere fact we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead." - Nelson Mandela.
Children and staff of KCC participate in the fun walk organized by Soshanguve Local Drug Action Committee (SLDAC), students from Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) and KCC against drug abuse taking place in and around Soshanguve Plaza.
Students are an important part of KCC. Since 2014 KCC is cooperating with UNISA (University of Pretoria) and TUT (Tshwane University of Technology) to give students of both universities a chance to do practicals at the children's centre.
The board supervises staff and the ongoing process. It is made up of a minimum of five people. The board understands itself as supervising the work done at KCC and giving advice wherever necessary.
Staff of KCC work hard to offer a wide range of programmes to the children and adolescents coming to KCC every day after school or on the weekends and during holidays. Staff consist of both, male and females. Most of them have grown up in the township themselves and are very familiar with the challenges and difficulties of growing up in this environment as well as with the possibilities of life in this township.
As KCC we strive to bring life and hope to young people through empowerment and education of moral values, arts, and sports.
To reach our vision we offer a safe and secure space to the children and adolescents from the age of 4 to 18 years living in Soshanguve, Winterveld and surrounding areas.
We support children and adolescents in discovering and improving their skills, talents, and competences through a variety of sports and arts programmes.
The Kgomotso Children Centre started informally as a project in 2007. At the age of 17 Kgomotso Nyalungo sought of making a difference in her community in which she was one of many children who spent their days on the streets. Most of these children learned how to drink, smoke, steal, take drugs, use vulgar and insulting language, and young girls were getting pregnant as they did not have enough resources to continue schooling.
