For ordinary citizens, the saying goes, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away,” but for our dreamers, a laugh or smile each day helps lift their spirits, and that is exactly what our Laughter Heroes do.
Laughter does more than brighten a child’s day. It supports mental, physical, and emotional well-being by boosting the immune system, reducing pain, and alleviating stress. This is why laughter is one of the key components of our Laughter Hero Project, established in 2007 to bring therapeutic entertainment to children in public hospitals across South Africa.
Through arts-based activities such as comedy, juggling, magic, mime, and storytelling, our Laughter Heroes spark joy while providing children and their caregivers with much-needed relief and a comforting sense of normalcy during their medical treatments.
