Kgomotso Children Centre

Going for a new year

In January Kids came back from holidays. A new year started at school and even KCC introduced a new schedule. Meanwhile, the number of children coming to the centre is still growing.

More than twenty new children have been registered in January, so far. Now, we have more then 130 children and adolescents registered at KCC, most of them coming to the centre regularly. The rapidly growing number of children shows how much KCC and its programmes are needed in this area.

However, the increase in children makes it neccessary to find more staff, as well. That is why we are very happy to welcome a new volunteer. Moreover, from February we will have the support of some students from Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) and University of South Africa (UNISA). They will help out at KCC for a few months.

You can find our 2014 schedule here.

KCC opens new branch

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.

Happy to be back

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

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.

All are fed!

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.

Day 2 of We Can't Eat Air Campaign

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.

Staying strong!

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.
