OUR PROJECTS IN PROGRESS


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 ASBL. 

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.


WHO ARE WE ?

We are people from various social backgrounds who were deeply moved by the spirit of the South African people. We have decided to act by helping the disadvantaged children of the townships of Cape Town.
KeNako is a non-profit organization registered under Luxembourgish law since November 4th 2010. Registration number : R.C.S. Luxembourg F8522. Our articles of association are available in French in the following PDF document. KeNako's head office is situated in
L-1845 Luxembourg 27, Bd. G-D. Joséphine Charlotte.

For this purpose we have built partnership with local NGO’s and other organizations. Several board members live and work in Cape Town and will ensure the follow-up of the different projects.
