WELCOME TO LION HEART
HOPE for KIDS
My Mission
Hi, I'm Nathaniel
"Thank you so much for being here. Lion Heart is my heart’s passion—a project that provides protection, medical care, and hope for a brighter future to disadvantaged and traumatized children in South Africa."
and how it all began...
Since I was born, I have been traveling the world due to my family's professional commitments.
The encounter with different cultures has shaped me and touched me deeply.
At the age of nine, I accompanied my mother again on
one of her business trips to Cape Town, South Africa.
She has supported an organization there for years, including building an orphanage in the townships. A place that still offers a refuge for babies and children today.
Almost all of these children are HIV-positive. Their mothers, who are often victims of severe violence, give birth to the babies in secret and then, in desperation, leave them in the orphanage's "children's hatch".
On this trip I visited the orphanage for the first time
are allowed to visit.
I have not forgotten a single moment, a single touch, or a single look from the children since then.
“No child chooses the place where it is born –
but together we can change the place where it grows up.” Nathaniel S.

a place of hope
Now, at almost 15 years old, I want to support my mom's project, help it grow, and make a personal impact.
I am aware that I am still young, but I ask for your trust because I am convinced:
"No one is "too small" to make a difference"
Here I am - with our godchild Matteo in Athens ❤️
"We can double happiness if we share it"
It’s so important to me to help these children because I realize how privileged and protected I am—and how most of us reading this have been, growing up and living our lives.
The most crucial thing is reaching out to those who have nothing, sometimes not even a name.
Every single contribution, no matter how small, helps save lives and gives these children hope, a chance at a future, and a little bit of happiness
Your support means everything
—not just to me, but especially to the children and young adults who rely on it.
Let’s come together to make a difference for those who have no voice.
At Pentecost 2025, I will personally deliver the first donations to Cape Town with my family.
We will document everything, including on video, so I can share the progress of the project with all of you and show exactly how the money is being used.
I’m always here if you have any questions, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your trust and support!
Yours truly,
Nathaniel
