The Kigamboni Community Centre KCC

Talent Development

The talent development programme was established for the following reasons:

To give children a safe and fun place where they can identify and develop their talents
To give children additional options and avenues for future employment as despite making every possible effort to gain a complete education, the reality is that many children won’t have the opportunity to finish school

The talent development programme has grown steadily over the past 4 years to include the following activities:

Activities	Daily Attendance	Boys	Girls	Age
Acrobatics	33	30	3	7-23
Drama	30	15	15	10-30
Fine Arts	24	18	6	7-20
Football	40	0	40	10-17
Handcrafts	17	17	0	10-18
Modern Dance	20	16	4	9-21

Netball	35	15	20	12-20
Sewing & Tailoring	20	2	18	15-40
Trad Dance & Drumming	23	9	14	10-23

Children attending the centre have the opportunity to try all of these activities, before deciding which one(s) they would like to pursue. Talent Development Programme classes take place 16.30-18.30 Monday to Friday. On Saturday afternoons all the groups come together for a performance to demonstrate to each other what they have learned during the week.

KCC’s vision is to develop its Talent Development Programme into the “KCC Talent Academy”.

The long-term vision for the Academy is to provide a full-time programme of talent development to students, using highly skilled teachers, with great facilities, and for it to be known and recognised across the region as a centre of excellence for talent development.
