“As a place of safety mommy, the health of our little ones are a priority. Thank you Callyn from Heart of Stella Foundation and Zinplex for the generous donation of gummies for the houses of His Children Foundation South Africa. You have made a lot of mommies very happy🥹😍”- His Children foundation

All we can say from Heart of Stella Foundation and the public- you guys are the real heroes to us! You love every child in all your care like your own, you know their needs, their worries- you are the mommies every mommy aspires to be. Thank you for the work you do for them

POV: Heart of Stella foundation were personally there while Heidi, was fussing over a beautiful little girl (and my oh my what a little lady she has become) who had a big dance recital … everything from making sure her hair was dance ready, new dance outfit with extra wishes of support 🥺 How proud one can be to know such phenomenal people. We see a lot of darkness and often we lie at night thinking will there ever be progress on the fight to protect and love children- then you meet people like this! Round of applause is to all you at His Children Foundation

Heart of Stella Foundation x Unchain Our Children

Today, Heart of Stella Foundation’s Founder, Callyn Bowler, had the privilege of meeting with Wayne van Onselen from Unchain Our Children for an insightful and productive discussion about the future of child safeguarding in South Africa.

Our conversation focused on the current challenges facing vulnerable children, opportunities for collaboration, and the critical role that communities play in protecting children.

One of the most significant updates is that Unchain Our Children is a Child Protection Organisation (CPO) status.

What does this mean?
A registered Child Protection Organisation is legally recognised to provide child protection services and work alongside the relevant authorities to safeguard children. This status strengthens their ability to advocate for children’s rights, intervene appropriately, and ensure that cases are handled within the legal framework designed to protect our most vulnerable.

As we continue working together, we will soon be releasing a series of educational videos covering some important child protection messages:

🛑 Don’t Investigate — Report
👥 Communities in Child Protection
🛡️ Protect, Don’t Persecute
⚖️ Justice — Not Vigilantism
📱 Social Media & Child Protection

These conversations are essential if we are to build informed communities that know how to respond safely, legally, and effectively when a child is at risk. (Key word: Legally)

During our visit, Heart of Stella Foundation was also honoured to hand over a donation to support Unchain Our Children’s incredible work in assisting children in need. Together, we believe that collaboration creates lasting impact.

And there’s even more exciting news...

We are currently in discussions about partnering on another community crèche project to create a safer, more nurturing environment for young children.

Stay tuned, we can’t wait to share more with you soon.

Together, we can build stronger communities and safer futures for every child.

❄️ A Little Winter Love for Our Precious Daybreak Babies 💗

Today, the Heart of Stella Foundation had the privilege of handing over Zinplex Junior Multivitamin Gummies to the precious little ones at Daybreak House for Babies

Winter can be especially tough on little bodies, and we hope this contribution provides some extra nutritional support to help these beautiful children through the colder months. 🧸❄️

Seeing those tiny hands holding their bottles — and knowing that something so simple can make a meaningful difference — is exactly why we do what we do.

A heartfelt thank you to Zinplex Junior for the incredibly generous donation of multivitamin gummies and for helping us extend that generosity to organisations caring for vulnerable children. 💛

And to the wonderful team at Daybreak Babies: thank you for the love, patience and dedication you pour into these children every single day. It was an honour to spend time with you and your precious little ones.

Big things. Small moments. Huge hearts. 💗

With love,
Heart of Stella Foundation
Supporting little lives, one act of kindness at a time.

Today, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to every single person who opened their heart to support little M. 💚

Because of your generosity, we were able to provide her with an abundance of clothing, essentials, toys, comfort items, and so much more. Your kindness has reminded us that there is still so much good in the world.

As this matter now progresses to its next phase, it will be managed by the incredible team at Unchain Our Children, together with the relevant social workers and authorities who are entrusted with ensuring little M’s safety and wellbeing.

Out of respect for the legal process and, most importantly, to protect little M’s privacy and best interests, we will not be sharing any further updates or details regarding her case. We kindly ask that everyone respects this decision.

Please be assured that she is in the hands of the appropriate professionals, and every effort is being made to ensure she is protected and supported.

Thank you for standing with us, for standing up for children, and for reminding us that compassion changes lives. 💚

Today, we want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the incredible team at Zinplex Junior💙

From the moment we met them, it was clear that they are a company driven by genuine care, kindness and a passion for making a difference. They have blessed the Heart of Stella Foundation with an incredible donation of Zinplex Junior Multivite Gummies, ensuring that more children have access to essential daily vitamins to support their health and wellbeing.

Thanks to their generosity, we have already distributed these wonderful gummies to KidsCare and Starfish Babies with handovers to Daybreak House for Babies Unchain Our Children Hamba Nawe Project and His Children Foundation South Africa and many more organisations in the coming days.

Good health is one of the greatest gifts we can give a child, especially during the winter months when little immune systems need extra support.
