Sanitary Items for Girls
Menstrual Health & Dignity
Provides sanitary pads to school-aged girls who may not otherwise have reliable access to menstrual-hygiene supplies. By making these essentials available through Starfish-supported programs, girls can manage their periods with greater dignity and confidence, reducing a practical barrier that can disrupt classroom participation, daily routines, and consistent school attendance.

Partnership with
Save the Children
Child Safeguarding
Through a six-month partnership with Save the Children South Africa, Starfish is strengthening child safeguarding systems across its staff and partner network through audits, policy and reporting improvements, screening, and safeguarding training. The partnership is designed to embed consistent safeguarding practices and support Starfish toward Bronze Child Safeguarding Accreditation.

|
CPR Training for Teachers
Emergency Preparedness
Each Starfish-supported school will have at least one teacher or staff member certified in CPR, so someone on site is prepared to respond during a medical emergency. The training gives educators practical lifesaving skills, greater confidence in an emergency, and clear steps to take while professional medical assistance is being reached.
