Celebrating 10 years

Soon, on March 10 we are celebrating our 10 year anniversary. All donors, sponsors and friends of Kgomotso Children Centre are invited to take part in this very special event. 

At Kgomotso Children Centre everyone is getting prepared for the big day. A day where we will celebrate the past, present and future of our centre. Within only ten years the vision of a young woman, Kgomotso, who gathered with a few kids in the afternoons has developed into one of the biggest and successful children's centres in this township. Currently, 181 registered children come to KCC every day. They are so many that sometimes food is not enough and extra lunches have to be prepared. Parents say they are very happy with KCC. They tell staff that their kids cannot stop talking about it. Kids join KCC to learn, play and form their personalities in an environment of safety.

The celebration will take place on 10 March 2018 from 11 am to 6 pm. Perfomances by local groups Majita Ako Sosha, France Born Again, Sebata D, and by KCC kids are expected. Come and join us when we celebrate ten years of Kgomotso children centre in Soshanguve!

Latest news

Kgomotso Mphela is one of the 2021 winners of the Mail & Guardian 200 Young South Africans. She was honoured in the category "rural development projects" together with 9 other fellow South Africans. 

On Youth Day 2021 Kgomotso Children Centre opened a new branch in Winterveld. Almost 10 years after moving from the original place under a tree in Winterveld to establish the youth centre at Block NN in Soshanguve KCC is happy to be back in Winterveld, again.

After another closure due to the lockdown situation KCC has finally opened again in February. While some activities are still restricted due to level 3 lockdown everyone at KCC was eager to start again with their work. 

Looking back at 2020, a year that has been very difficult to all of us, we want to thank those who supported us throughtout the year. After we had started with the We Can't Eat Air Campaign in April more organisations and people approached KCC to offer their help.

On the third day of the "We Can't Eat Air - Campaign" the remaining families received their long-awaited food parcels. The first phase of the campaign has now come to an end. We thank everyone who helped to make it a great success.

The second day in a row KCC staff and supporters went out to reach more families in the community providing them with food parcels. Families were crying because they had not had food for days, only surviving with drinking water.

We take actions while government is still making plans. Due to lockdown Kgomotso Children Centre had to close its doors - but it didn’t close its eyes. We started the „We Can’t Eat Air - Campaign“ to hand out food parcels to 65 families of KCC kids who are in a desperate situation.

Due to the nation-wide lockdown KCC currently is closed. Few staff are staying at the centre for cases of emergency. It's expected we willl re-open when schools open again. Stay safe!

We are bringing cinema to the township! KCC is now doing a monthly movie day for the community. Kids, youth and adults - everyone is welcome. The next movie day will be 6 and 7 of March.

Shortly after KCC had opened its doors for another year the US ambassador came for a visit to get an impression of the work that is being done at the children's centre.
