Jumping Kids

For many children, the simple joy of running, playing, or walking to school is taken for granted. But for those living with limb loss, these everyday moments can feel out of reach. Through our partnership with Jumping Kids, The Star Foundation is helping to change that reality one step, one prosthetic, one child at a time.

In the first year, our collaboration supported 12 children through access to advanced prosthetic equipment and specialised care. Each child’s prosthesis is uniquely fitted to match their lifestyle and age, empowering them to move freely and participate in life just like their peers. What began as a monthly commitment of R50,000 per child has grown into a journey of transformation — not just for the children, but for their families, too.

Now, in our second year of support (March 2025 – February 2026), our commitment has deepened, ensuring ongoing maintenance, refitting’s, and full replacements as these children grow stronger and more active. At the same time, new beneficiaries will join the programme, expanding Jumping Kids’ reach to even more communities across South Africa.

This partnership is more than an investment in mobility — it’s an investment in dignity, independence, and future potential. Each prosthetic leg represents courage, innovation, and the power of collaboration to create lasting change.

Together with Jumping Kids, we’re not only helping children walk again — we’re helping them move confidently toward the future they deserve.
