When you can't fix everything...start with kindness

The Unheard is a South African docu-series- created by Bella Monsoon- which shares the raw, unfiltered stories of Cape Town’s homeless community. Not to shame. Not to shock. But to listen. To feel. To change.

 A small gesture. A massive impact.

At The Unheard, we believe in the power of listening - really listening - to the stories that society often silences.

We are a grassroots initiative based in Cape Town, sharing raw, real, and deeply human narratives from people experiencing homelessness, shelter insecurity and more. Through food, clothing, dignity bags, and shelter support - as well as powerful storytelling - we bring attention, assistance, and compassion to those who’ve been pushed to the margins.

Every donation, every share, and every pledge helps us offer more than aid - it helps restore dignity, spark hope, and prove that someone still cares.

Your donation is more than money - it's a meal for someone who hasn't eaten in days. It's a blanket on a freezing night and where possible, temporary shelter for the people we meet. It's a quiet moment of dignity in a world that's often loud with indifference.

This is more than a project. It’s a movement to make the invisible seen.

Thank you for walking beside us.

Frequently Asked Questions 

Title

What led to the inception of The Unheard?

The Unheard was born from a simple but heartbreaking realization: too many lives are lived in silence.

 

For years, I walked past people living on the streets of Cape Town – wondering who they were, what they’d lost, and what they still hoped for. As a mental health professional, activist and storyteller, I knew the power of voice. And I knew that while poverty is visible, the people behind it are often unseen.

 

The turning point came when I started having deeper conversations with those who had been silenced for too long. I stopped asking “what happened to you?” and started asking, “what would you like people to understand?” What followed were stories of pain, yes - but also resilience, humour, love, and dreams that never died.

 

The Unheard isn’t just a series. It’s a collective listening.

It was created to hold space for voices that matter - but have been ignored for far too long.

 

This project is about restoring dignity through storytelling. It’s about reminding Cape Town, and the world, that no one is invisible - not really - not if we choose to see them.

How can I assist?

Whether you share a story, donate to an organisation, support our work or simply choose to listen....you're helping to rewrite the narrative

 

Where does my donation go?

Your donation is more than money - it’s a meal for someone who hasn’t eaten in days. It’s a blanket on a freezing night and where possible, temporary shelter for the people we meet. It’s a quiet moment of dignity in a world that’s often loud with indifference.

 

It also fuels the journey to find these stories. Petrol for the car. Hours behind the screen, turning pain into purpose so we can continue reaching communities, capturing their stories with dignity, and sharing them with the world.

 

This work only exists because people like you believe that every story matters - even the ones the world tries to ignore. Thank you for choosing to care.  Every cent helps restore humanity where it’s been stripped away. And every share, view, and donation is a part of rewriting someone’s narrative. Thank you for being a part of it.

Where can I find the stories?
