FIKELELA CHILDRENS CENTRE IN KHAYELITSHA:
- HELP A CHILD GROW with €50/MONTH
An ambitious project to individually help the 40 orphans at the Fikelela center. For over 10 years, KeNako asbl. has supported the Fikelela center with an annual donation that increases the food budget.
By sponsoring a child individually, you will significantly contribute to improving the quality of life for these children. Your donation will be used to cover their educational, medical, and nutritional expenses, as well as all their recreational activities, all while maintaining the child's anonymity.
- HELP IMPROVE THE CARE CENTER:
Your donations will help transform the center into a more welcoming and functional place as part of our 2-year project.
This includes adding solar panels, a renovated playroom, an infirmary, a dedicated staff area, and storage spaces.

KeNAKO … Now is the right time.
The soccer World Cup 2010 is over and South Africa has returned to its daily challenges. A destroyed social fabric leftover from a colonial past leaves the children of the townships vulnerable and exposed to the ills of society. Can a privileged society draw on its humanity and develop an active interaction with the previously disadvantaged population of South Africa’s townships?
Can we learn to share in projects in close cooperation with the local population? Here are some questions a group of soccer fans asked themselves : they were triggered by their meeting with locals of various background during the few weeks spend in Cape Town on the occasion of the World Cup.
In has thus been possible to better appreciate the particular needs of the youth in the townships particularly when it comes to nutrition, sport, culture, and basic equipment.
We decided to establish KeNako, a non-profit association to fill the gaps for the youth in these districts.
"Ke Nako" means "time has come" in three of the South African indigenous languages : Sesotho, Setswana and Sepedi.
