Jumping Kids

 beneficiary. This is after her parents reached out for prosthetic support and rehabilitative guidance. Thanks to The Star Foundation, Dané is now taking her first steps toward a brighter future.

1 year old Dané was born with a missing lower limb on her right side – a congenital condition that developed in the womb. Since being fitted with her first prosthetic limb, Dané is thriving and hitting all the milestones of a toddler. From overcoming early developmental challenges to progressing at the same level as her peers, this little girl is mastering the art of being a toddler, one step at a time.

Assisting children born with physical challenges as early as possible helps them adapt seamlessly to their prosthetic equipment. This means they can focus on what truly matters – embracing all the fun, joy and wonder of childhood with confidence and ease.

It’s essential for little Dané to remain part of the Jumping Kids initiative, ensuring her prosthesis is regularly updated and maintained as she grows. This ongoing support is crucial for her development.

What are Dane’s favourite activities to participate in as a toddler?

Playing outdoors and swimming. She likes playing with other kids.

What would you like her to become one day? In other words, what is your wish for her future?

Our wish for her is to be successful and to do whatever makes her happy.

What types of sport &/or extracurricular activities do you wish for her to get involved with in the future?

Athletics, swimming, netball, drama and dance.

What do you hope that she can try or achieve with her prosthetic equipment?

We hope that she will inspire others and that she will be trying things that other people think will be impossible.

What is your message to other parents with children living with a physical challenge?

Never give up and always be the biggest supporter. God is always with you and will never disappoint anyone.

Soshanguve Animal Shelter and Educare

In celebration of National Children's Day, The Star Foundation hosted a special event for children at the Soshanguve Animal Shelter and EDUcare Centre in Pretoria. We are also proud to have donated towards the shelter's expansion, enabling it to accommodate and educate even more children in the community.

The Soshanguve Animal Shelter and EDUcare Centre is non-profit organization that plays a vital role in educating the local youth about animal welfare, steering them away from the dangers of the streets. A major function of the Educare Centre at the shelter is to provide after-school programmes to the children in the community.

Since its inception in 2023, the organization has welcomed 180 children from the community and provided over 12,000 meals at the centre. As a result of the donation, the shelter will be able to accommodate even more children, providing a safe space and homework assistance.

The organization has also made a significant impact in and around Soshanguve, rescuing over 370 dogs, rehoming 89, feeding 4910 dogs and sterilizing 344.

In a township where knowledge about animal care is limited, the organization’s mission is to teach children the importance of feeding, protecting, and caring for animals.

The Soshanguve Animal Shelter and EDUcare Centre relies on the generosity of donations, sponsorships and volunteers to continue its work. To support their cause or donate, please visit soshanguveanimalshelter.org.za.

Join us in making a difference on National Children's Day and beyond.

National Childrens Day

Anika Koekemoer from Potchefstroom was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma, a type of bone cancer, of her left leg in August 2019. She immediately started chemotherapy but after two cycles it became evident that she would need an amputation.

That same year Anika underwent a through-knee amputation. She was only five years old at the time. Thankfully the histology came back showing an excellent response that meant Anika was cancer free.

In 2021, Anika’s mother reached out to Jumping Kids for assistance to get her daughter the prosthetic equipment that she needs to lead a full, active life. She was fitted with her first sponsored prosthesis, and she has not looked back since.

Now, equipped with her prosthesis, she can live a normal life, is doing well academically, and can participate in sport – particularly target shooting and archery which she is excelling in.

What is your favourite subject at school and why?

My favourite subject in school is Art because it allows me to share my creativity with my friends.

What would you like to pursue as a career one day?

It is my dream to one day become a doctor, or an astronaut so that I can explore space.

What types of sport and extracurricular activities are you involved in?

I participate in Archery and Target Shooting.

What do you hope to try with your new prosthetic sports blade?

By continuing to use my sports blade to practice my love of archery and target shooting, I hope to inspire other people to live life to the fullest regardless of their disability.

What is your message to children living with a physical challenge?

Empowered by my prosthetic equipment I do not feel disabled, I feel normal, and I am able to lead a normal life. I want to be an example of what is possible despite living with a disability.
