Spotted something different on your local mall screens lately? Look a little closer next time you’re out shopping...

Something special is happening. BackaBuddy and iPoint are working together to bring heartwarming, local good-news stories into public spaces, reminding us all of the incredible power of community.

These are real stories about ordinary South Africans doing extraordinary things with the support of neighbours, friends, and donors. Stories like:

A young dream being backed 🌟
A community answering a call for help 🤝
A group of young skaters finding a place to belong 🛹

We want to say a huge thank you to iPoint for using their digital screens to showcase these moments.

We’ll be rotating more local stories across selected iPoint mall screens over the coming weeks. If you spot one, snap a picture and tag us! 📸

🇿🇦 This Youth Month, we are celebrating the organisations working on the ground to protect, inspire, and uplift the next generation of South Africans.

👶 Guardians of Hope Place of Safety
Based in East London, they provide a safe, loving haven for abandoned and vulnerable babies. With dozens of infants in their care, they are looking for "hearts of hope" to help cover critical monthly running costs and medical needs.

🎭 Lunchbox Theatre
Operating across the Western and Eastern Cape, this incredible team uses live theater to teach children life-changing lessons about environment, health, and social issues—transforming school playgrounds into classrooms of hope.

🩰 Rhythm of Hope Outreach
Based in Pretoria, this organization brings the joy, discipline, and purpose of dance to children who otherwise would never have access to arts education, proving that hope can be found in every step.

Whether you are looking to support a cause or launch your own fundraising campaign for a project close to your heart, BackaBuddy makes it safe, transparent, and incredibly easy to rally your community.

⚽ Have you met Major?

A young man from Gqeberha who works in construction, trains hard, and is chasing an opportunity to attend football trials in Europe.

Like so many football dreams, his journey didn't begin in a packed stadium. It started with hard work, determination, and a belief that anything is possible.

Today, thanks to the support of his community, Major has already raised more than R36,000 towards making that dream a reality.

Every donation, share, and word of encouragement has helped move him one step closer to his goal.

We're cheering for you, Major. 🇿🇦⚽

Drop a ⚽ in the comments to wish him luck.

His community is rallying behind Christopher to help make his dream of competing in the African Championships in Mauritius on 14 June come true.
