Another new project at KCC. Kgomotso Girls of Success started last month aiming at empowering teenage girls in Soshanguve. At workshops that will take place regularly, girls will discuss issues they come up with.Kgomotso Senauwa, programme manager of KCC, says that when she grew up she was exposed to many things lacking guidance or protection: "So, I decided to do something to make sure I prevent such from happening to other children. This girl's initiative is my way of educating these girls to take care of themselves and believe in themselves."

This year Mandela Day was a great succesa at KCC. National Treasury, the Department of Public Works, Ouma Tema's Plus Fab, Tshwane North College, Bible Society and individual supporters came to offer their help. National treasury came and took 85 excited kids to the Pretoria Zoo for the day. Moreover, they gave away 100 Mandela day t-shirts, brought benches, plastic cups and plates. They ordered a jungle gym for the children. We are still waiting for it to be installed.
