Little Lions is a mental health NGO that improves the psychosocial wellbeing of vulnerable children across Africa by offering free, daily, easily accessible mental health workshops in under-resourced communities hosted by trained local role models.
Rooted in the vibrant tapestry of Cape Town townships and rapidly expanding throughout South Africa, Little Lions is more than an organisation; it’s a movement.
Our journey began with a single purpose: to ignite the spirits of children in under-resourced communities through the power of mental health workshops, so that they can enter adulthood confidently.
Local townships. Global impact.
The heart of our mission beats with the drum of Little Lions workshops: 12 pathways to discovery, in the form of wildly interactive and profound sessions. As children engage in activities and games, the once-intimidating topic of ‘mental health’ becomes relatable and approachable.
Beyond workshops, beyond education, the Little Lions Academy stands as a testament to shaping not just young minds, but entire communities. We’re not just educating; we’re empowering. In the Academy, we professionally train and equip local role-models to take on the role of mentors in the communities we transform.
This is your invitation to shape brighter futures for under-resourced children. By lending your skills, knowledge, network, and your monthly financial support, you become a catalyst for improving children’s mental health.
As of now, Little Lions has:
