Meet Our Family

A Family Legacy Built on Craftsmanship & Care

At Headboards For Africa, we have always believed that we are called to be more than just a business. “Because of you – our loyal clients and friends – we were able to give our children something I never had: a good education, the chance to study at university, and a better quality of life. From the very beginning, my dream was never about wealth, but about creating a better future for our children. Your support has allowed us to build a strong foundation for them, and with that, the gift of hope and generational success. And through this, we are committed to making a difference by paying it forward through our various community projects. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for helping us to make that change.”


Cheryl Bell  is the driving visionary force behind Headboards For Africa, combining her passion for design, quality craftsmanship, and customer care to build a brand known for excellence. As Founder and CEO, she has led the business with creativity, resilience, and a hands-on approach since day one.

Cheryl has grown Headboards For Africa into a trusted, family-run brand where every product is made with pride, precision, and heart. 

From design to production, every part of the business is driven by  passion, integrity, and commitment to quality.

 

Next-Gen Ingenuity

The future of Headboards For Africa is already taking shape through the creativity and drive of our sons — the next generation of makers and innovators.

“When kids grow up in the business, they absorb the skills it takes to succeed first-hand.”

At Headboards For Africa, every stitch, stud, and detail reflects not just expert craftsmanship, but a family legacy of excellence passed down with pride.

Our Daughter Kelly Bell 

"She may not have grown under my heart, but she grew in it."

“As parents of only sons, we always dreamed of having a daughter — and that dream came true through adoption. From the moment we saw her, we knew she was meant to be ours.

She may not carry our DNA, but she carries our love, our values, and our family name with pride.

Chosen, cherished, and deeply loved — our daughter is a perfect reminder that family is built by heart, not just by blood.

“We didn’t change her life; she changed ours forever.”
