Save7

!  From 12-31 May 2025, you stand a chance to win R1 Million in the grand finale - all while helping raise funds for 

’s May Money Madness competition, The Star Foundation is proud to partner with 

 – an inspiring initiative founded by Stellenbosch medical students in response to the urgent shortage of organ donors in South Africa.

With over 4,000 South Africans currently awaiting life-saving transplants, Save7 is on a mission to raise awareness and simplify the process of becoming an organ donor. Through media outreach, partnerships, and a powerful voice-based “time capsule” registry, they are creating a future where no life is lost due to a lack of donors. It takes just one minute to register and one donor can save up to seven lives.

Currently, Tygerberg Hospital loses up to 100 viable organs each year due to limited preservation infrastructure. To help bridge this gap, Save7 transformed an unused hospital room into the LifePod – a state-of-the-art donor ICU next to the theatre complex. This milestone wouldn’t be possible without the generosity of donors and supporters.

While sufficient funds have been raised to build the first LifePod, the journey is far from over.

Together with LottoStar, we are proud to be part of a movement that turns one minute of action into a lifetime of impact.

Now a Grade 4 student, Kabo navigates well both at home and in her school life with confidence, empowered by her prosthetic equipment

She dreams of playing netball, participate in athletics and aspires to become a teacher. Along her journey, she hopes to inspire other children facing physical challenges, demonstrating that with support and determination, they too can achieve their dreams.

English, because I can understand it and I enjoy learning how to communicate better in the language.

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

I would like to become a teacher, because I like to teach, and I want to work with children in the school environment.

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

I like netball, but I am still trying to find a team to play for.

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

I would like to achieve a medal in a running competition.

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

It is my goal to always show kindness and to support other children living with a physical disability.

Say hello to Bokang! A Grade 4 learner. She was born with a congenital condition that led to a below-knee amputation known as trans tibial on her right leg.

In 2017, she became a beneficiary of the 

 and was fitted with her first lower limb prosthesis, sponsored by the charity.

Initially it was difficult for Bokang to get used to moving around on her prosthesis. However, she was inspired by other kids that are using their prostheses to navigate life at school and at home.

She started running with her prosthetic device and discovered her love for it.

Now, empowered by her prosthetic equipment, Bokang is striving to inspire other children living with physical challenges to never stop trying and to always hold on to their faith.

Mathematics, because it keeps my brain active at all times.

I would like to become an athlete and a medical doctor.

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

Above all else, I hope to be an inspiration to all living with a disability.

My message to children living with a physical disability is to always believe in yourself, to never stop trying, and to remember to pray

Qhubeka Charity

Qhubeka is a Nguni word that means “to progress,” or “to move forward.” The 

, moves people and communities forward with the simple act of assembling and distributing bicycles. In the face of extreme and persistent poverty, bicycles have the potential to change the lives of the most vulnerable communities in South Africa by helping people get where they need to go.

In South Africa, millions of scholars walk long distances to and from school every day along dusty roads, burdened by the weight of their books. For some, the daily journey on foot takes hours. This test of endurance consumes time, drains energy, and ultimately affects academic performance, leading to high levels of fatigue and alarming dropout rates from Grade 1 through Matric.

By partnering with Qhubeka Charity, The Star Foundation is changing this reality for 50 scholars in the Grade 9 class at Sefutswelo High School in Uitkyk, Northwest. Through a donation of R425,000, each scholar will receive a brand-new bicycle this February, along with spare parts for maintenance and a range of cycling accessories.

Because cycling is 3.5 times faster than walking, The Star Foundation’s bicycle donation will transform the daily commute to school for these learners. The new bicycles will not only reduce travel time and enable on-time arrival at school but will also ensure that scholars have more energy to focus on their studies, leading to better academic performance and greater participation in school activities.

Before receiving their bicycles, all 50 scholars will undergo a comprehensive training program conducted by Qhubeka Charity, through which they will learn how to ride their bicycles, use the accessories and spare parts to maintain them, and to follow the rules of the road. Following this training, each learner will take ownership of their new bicycle in a special distribution ceremony which is set to take place in February 2025.

Qhubeka Charity’s innovative “learn-to-earn” programme is designed to ensure that every bicycle distributed is not just donated as a gift, but as a reward for pledges made and fulfilled by each recipient. In exchange for their bicycles, each learner will sign a contract with commitments to enhance their school attendance and academic performance and to be accountable for the bicycle’s care and maintenance.

The journey doesn’t stop there. Beyond the classroom, Qhubeka Charity goes the extra mile by uplifting the whole community. Each bicycle is assembled locally in a dedicated facility, creating employment opportunities for people in the area where it operates. Additionally, Qhubeka trains local bicycle mechanics, equipping them with bicycle repair and basic business management skills. These mechanics will visit the school regularly to ensure the bicycles remain in use and are kept in peak condition.

As the 2025 school year begins, The Star Foundation is delighted to be empowering the Grade 9 class at Sefutswelo High School, as well as offering valuable skills development and employment opportunities to the local community of Uitkyk. We are excited to see how each bicycle will have its proud new owner pedaling towards a brighter future.
