LDSKCF is a non-profit, self-funding organization started in 2020. LDSKCF has identified & taken on board what our own youths have voiced to us, by indicating that inequalities & discrimination are not just in the host society we live in but is embedded within our own community as well. Hence, we aim to address this whilst trying to identify what services & support can also benefit the community.
We believe in taking care of our own & also rewarding ourselves. We acknowledge death is inevitable & at times one needs that extra support to bury their loved one. We therefore, collectively come together to ease each other’s burden whilst plan educational & party events to empower us & to enable us to celebrate our achievements.
In all we identify our youth are our future leaders & we want them to be empowered in the right direction by giving them a platform to voice their own needs within their homes & out in the community.
