If everyone asked themselves
“What would Kiki do?”,
what a beautiful world
we could create.

Kimon ‘Kiki’ Bisogno – mother, daughter, life partner, sister, friend, activist, artist, community leader and laughter queen – was taken from this Earth on 25th September 2022. Although she is not with us in body, her life and legacy lives on.

Kimon believed in waking up every day and choosing joy, in a world without violence, and a community where love is made visible through service to others.

Kiki not only brought laughter into the lives of thousands of people through laughter yoga, but her heart for the most vulnerable in her community inspired her to start the Obs Pasta Kitchen which provided a warm bowl of pasta every week to people experiencing homelessness in the community of Observatory, Cape Town, South Africa. The Obs Pasta Kitchen was created in 2017 and continues to feed the people experiencing homelessness as well as provide them opportunities to get a second chance in life. Kiki leaves behind her life partner Diego and their daughter. This is a place where you can take part in Kiki’s legacy – helping continue the incredible work she did, get inspiration from her life and support her family as they navigate the new journey ahead.

Contribute to the community work she left behind by supporting one of the projects that honours Kiki’s legacy.

Support the Family

Kimon left behind her beloved life partner, Diego, and their young daughter. As each year goes by, they continue to navigate the tremendous impact of losing Kiki so suddenly. Should you wish to make a contribution to their spiritual pilgrimage every year to the Art of Living Ashram, please click below. 

Every time Kiki visited her Guruji, Global Peace Ambassador Sri Sri Ravi Shankar around the world, she returned with renewed strength, inspiration and courage. The Ashram was a place that gave Kiki so much joy, peace and comfort. While she never had the chance to take their daughter to one of the ashrams, we trust that when Diego and their daughter reach the ashram together, it will bring Kiki’s spirit so much joy. This is a way for us to come together as a community and support them on this journey.

The Obs Pasta Kitchen

The Obs Pasta Kitchen provides a warm bowl of pasta on a weekly basis to people experiencing homelessness and unemployment. Volunteers and beneficiaries come together in a dining space that fosters connection and belonging. The Obs Pasta Kitchen NGO builds upon opportunities to empower people to change their own lives. Join every Wednesday!

Howlelujah Foundation

Kiki’s beloved sister, Miquel, founded the South African non profit Howlelujah Foundation, for which Kiki served as a board member. This heart-driven organization helps vaccinate, sterilize and place homeless doggies in loving families. Considering the inspiration behind Ferdinando’s Pizza was “Ferdinando the Fox”, also a rescue, who knows what can happen every time a dog is rescued? At Howlelujah, a little goes a long way, so please consider making a donation in honour of Kimon!

My vision is not a goal but a daily new beginning, so that every day you can wake up, put that smile on your face and become new.
