Smart Kingdom Kids Academy
About Us
History of SKKA
How it started
The organisation was registered on 13th July 2016 as a formal organisation known as Smart Kingdom Kids Academy. The registration number for the NPO is 172-559 and the Public Beneficiary number is 9258/287/22/7. The Founder of the organisation and Executive Director, Heather Adonis has been actively busy in her church community for more than 35 years teaching children in the Sunday school class in the area of Lavender Hill. Teaching the little ones to read music and play instruments as well as vocal coach and children’s choir director.
​
Heather’s mother cared for many foster children for the local welfare department, a few children were just left in her mother’s care and never fetched by their biological parents. Heather and her siblings had to assist and support their mother with all these kids who faced many challenges.
​
In February 2016 Heather approached two ladies in the church community to support her to formalize the community work-Venolin Fortune and Elizabeth Joseph. These ladies had the same heartbeat and voluntarily agreed to form a part of the vision, as they have also been very actively involved in community work in their respective departments.
