Kgomotso Children Centre

Happy holidays

They came early in the morning knocking at the gate. What they brought was a great surprise. A jungle gym is the latest attraction for the young. Meanwhile, KCC gets a new pavement.

Christmas came early this year. It was one of the last days before the children centre would close for the holiday season and some renovations. Just before that day arrived children found a new jungle gym at KCC. A donor from the local Methodist church Hand brought this enjoyable gift. They couldn't wait to try the slide and swings.

Meanwhile, kids have left and men are working hard. The pavement of the front yard and back yard is to be done before KCC re-opens in January. To successfully finish the work before christmas some of the olf adolescents of KCC assist the professional workers. These youth took the chance to make an internship-like experience paving the yard of "their" centre.

Kgomotso Children Centre now is prepared and ready to start into a new year 2018!

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.
