Kgomotso Children Centre

Successful seminar for KGS girls

At the end of February, KCC hosted another workshop for girls. It was supported by Grant Kekana Foundation which had linked up with KCC at the end of last year and Tshwane Township Kids.

After a good start in August last year this was already the third event of Kgomotso Girls of Success. It took place at Phakamonola primary school and many girls came to take part in the four-hour workshop. It was all about the theme "Love yourself" which was addressed by four motivational speakers and came alive through dance, drama, and singing. Grant Kekana Foundation came and they sponsored cupcakes and toiletries, and assisted with a motivational speaker. Parents and ladies from the community came to support the girls. The girls were provided with a delicious meal of rice, cabbage, chicken and juice.

"It was a big success.", Kgomotso Senauwa, programme manager of KCC and KGS, said. "Bigger than we expected it to be."

Happy to be back

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.
