Kgomotso Children Centre

On the road for KCC

In March we were visited by #GTISanitaryPadDrive. They came to donate sanitary items to the girls of KCC. We like to share what they wrote after their visit.

For our 1st Drive for 2019, we identified Kgomotso Children's Centre as our recipient after going through their website and seeing that it has amazing activities that we would like to be a part of.

Arriving at KCC and being welcomed with such warmth and love was the most mind blowing experience of our lives. As #GSPD, we had never seen anything of such beauty. The kids, KCC staff, parents and community members were more than excited to have us. We sang, danced and laughed and cried tears of joy as though we were all 1 big happy family. The kids had prepared the most touching musical items, alongside their mother Kgomotso to entertain us. It was without a doubt, the best Home we have ever been to. Everyone at #GSPD have voiced that we will dedicate another drive, specially for KCC.

We thank you KCC. We wish you all the best going forward, we hope you grow, prosper, and continue to make a difference in our communities.

#GTISanitaryPadDrive is a non-profitable organisation that was founded in 2018 by two friends who saw the need to make a difference in the lives of women and young girls. It consists of a group of friends who have become family through helping the less fortunate by mainly collecting sanitary pads from different individuals who willingly donate across Gauteng.

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.
