The K. C. Community Centre Unclaimed

The K.C. Community Centre was established in 1990 to serve the educational, spiritual, social and physical needs of children, youth and adults from less advantaged backgrounds in the areas of Etete, Velani, Groutville, Kalafukwe and surrounding areas. Our purpose is to empower, motivate and bring individuals to their full potential…becoming the best at what they can be. Members are taught to be hard working, to develop good morals, and have good, clean fun without the use of drugs, alcohol, etc. They are also empowered so that they can become more effective in their communities and make a difference.The K. C. Community Centre is an established organisation, registered with the Department of Social Development.
