Established in 2007 by the Reach for a Dream Foundation, Laughter Heroes (formerly known as Jabulani Kingdom) is a unique initiative that brings therapeutic entertainment to vulnerable children across public hospitals in South Africa.
The Laughter Heroes initiative is centered around bringing therapeutic entertainers into the hospital wards, and through using arts-based activities such as comedy, juggling, magic, mime and storytelling, to help restore and improve the mental, physical and emotional well-being of the children and their caregivers.
Laughter is proven to have immense clinical benefits on stress & anxiety. Reach For a believes in the power of dreams, which ultimately brings joy and excitement to the hearts of our dreamers. Laughter Heroes is an extension of the work we do to promote healing and happiness in a trying time.
Thank you to our donors for collaborating with the Foundation on this initiative and contributing towards the new look and feel of our Laughter Heroes.
