Little Lions: raising mental health awareness

In this video, you hear George, Amanda, Zimkitha, and Yoliswa from the NGO Health Promoters talk about the importance of raising mental health awareness.

They work and live in Kayamandi, a township close to Stellenbosch and Cape Town. The area is known for its big division between rich and poor and with lots of children living in challenging conditions.

We just did our first crowdfunding campaign and it was a great success, more than 70 people backed the project. But we still need your help!

Meet Stijn

Child psychologist, PhD student at the University of Cape Town, & entrepreneur.

"Working with children is the most rewarding thing there is for me, because of their sense of natural optimism and need to explore the world. But what if they lose that 'spark', their hope, and fail to reach their full potential?

That's what I like to work on with children; To strengthen their self-esteem and their believe in themselves."
