Kgomotso Children Centre

Power to the youth

June 16 saw KCC hold it’s annual fun walk and youth day celebration. A long and powerful walk and numerous emotional performances highlighted the day.

People had come to gather at the soccer ground for another year to celebrate youth day in Block NN of Soshanguve. In the morning KCC’s Kids had started their long walk through Block NN to collected others and invited them to take part in this special event. This year they had changed their route and extended the walk. Around noon they all assembled at the sports ground and the show went on with speeches, dances and the so famous pieces of the well-known Sarafina musical.

Enjoy the photos to get an impression of the day.

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.
