Born winners

Kids of KCC successfully took part in the SAYBC competetition. Out of seven categories they won in four of them and were runners-up in another category.

On October 14 dancers, poets, actors, and singers went to Block KK in Soshanguve to compete with other participants in the 2017 SAYBC Rising Star Talent Show. Everyone was motivated to do their best as they had been successully taking part in another competition earlier this year.

And they did very well. The young and highly adored gumboot dancers won a trophy as well as the KCC choir of about twenty talented adolescent boys and girls singing two songs. Moreover, Sharon, a young girl, won in peotry with her convincing presentation of a poem accompanied by Thando and John on drums and xylophone. In solo performance Ntokozo came in second place with her performance. And even the drama group won another first-place-trophy for their artistic performance.

Boys and girls were very happy about their success and celebrated cheerfully after the competition. As a reward boys and girls were invited by a sponsor to spend a day at the ZambiBush Resort where they could enjoy their time swimming and playing.

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.
