Kgomotso Children Centre

Parents get involved

At KCC children enjoy the programmes and activities. Staff is now supported by students from two universities in Pretoria and parents who help to keep the centre nice and clean.

The KCC relies on support of people getting involved in supporting the children and adolescents of Soshanguve. Donors who support the centre financially or by in-kind donations. Volunteers running programmes for children and adolescents. Since February students from University of South Africa and Tshwane University of Technology do their internships at KCC. They are involved in fundraising as well as in social work.

Beyond that, parents who are appreciating the work done at KCC are getting involved more and more. Two of them have been cooking for children for years. Now, every Monday six parents come in the morning to wipe and sweep the place. This is of great help as after one week and hundreds of children and adolescents having walked in and out the centre an intensive housecleaning is more than necessary.

We are very thankful for any kind of support that helps to see our children centre flourish.

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.
