OUR MISSION
Normalising mental health conversations
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.
“Little Lions is all about building mentally strong children.” – Stijn de Leeuw, Founder of Little Lions Child Coaching
What we do
Local townships. Global impact.
WORKSHOPS
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.
ACADEMY
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.
