Better Kensington
About Better Kensington
A community-driven initiative to revitalize one of Joburg's most historic neighbourhoods.
Our Mission
Building community,
one street at a time.
Better Kensington is a non-profit initiative bringing together residents, business owners, and community members to revitalize our beloved neighbourhood. We believe that by working together, we can restore Kensington to its former glory while building a thriving, inclusive community for the future.
From regular clean-up drives to supporting local businesses, from preserving our heritage to creating new community spaces — we're committed to making Kensington a place we're all proud to call home.
