According to statements on her website, with half of the revenue she makes by performing and her album sales, Willighagen supports her own charity project, Stichting Gelukskinders (Lucky Children Foundation), to build playgrounds for poor children of South African townships. The idea of creating playgrounds came up when she went to South Africa, to visit her grandmother, at the age of seven. She went outside to play, like any child, but the children from there didn’t have a proper playground, so they just ran and threw stones. Astonished and disappointed, she said to her mother: “If I ever get any money I’d like to come back here and help these children have something to play.” That’s exactly what she did: after only three years, on March 5, 2014, she opened the first playground in Ikageng, a township near Potchefstroom, South Africa. To formalize development and maintenance of playgrounds, Willighagen’s Gelukskinders Foundation was established on November 1, 2014. On behalf of her foundation, Willighagen opened a second playground in Ikageng on August 1, 2016. Amira opened a third playground, Amira Park – Sarafina, which was completed on January 20, 2017. Amira opened her fourth playground in South Africa on June 20, 2017. Amira Park #4 was opened in Promosa. On June 11, 2018, Amira opened her 5th playground at Lesego Primary School which included carousel, swings, slide, and a sandbox. In July and August 2019 were opened six new playgrounds at schools near Potchefstroom, their number reaching 13. Other charitable actions worth mentioning are her participation in fundraising, for the victims of the Haiyan typhoon in Philippines (on November 18, 2013), for Unicef (on July 16, 2014) and to support the victims of the devastating bush fires around Knysna, in extra concert at Classics Is Groot (on June 24, 2017).
Willighagen released two videos: “Ave Maria (Vavilov)”, from the album Merry Christmas and “In The Stars”, from the album With All My Heart. She also has performances featured on five DVDs and five CDs: Afrikaans Is Groot 2016, Classics Is Groot 2016, Classics Is Groot 2017, Classics Is Groot 2018 and Classics Is Groot 2019, all published by Coleske Artists.
