Our response to the unrest
Starfish has responded to calls from our communities in Gauteng and KZN following the recent unrest. Our children are experiencing deepening poverty and heightened food insecurity on top of the challenges of Covid 19. There are no shops to sell food, and supply chains are disrupted. Children are hungry and suffering more than ever during this crisis. We have repurposed our wellness wagon into a food delivery vehicle and are aiming to reach 2,000 people every single day.


WE EDUCATE
Education changes destiny. Starfish believes in the importance of education, particularly in a child’s first 1000 days. 18,000 children have benefitted from education in early childhood development centers.
WE NOURISH
We provide proper nutrition to impoverished children, ensuring improved childhood growth, development, and health.
92,000Â children have received nutritional support.
HEALTH
We ensure impoverished and remote communities have access to primary health services via our Wellness Wagon program . 25,000 children have received health care services and 62,000 people anti retro-virals and adherence support through our mobile clinic.
WE SUSTAIN
We help create stronger communities by building community development centers, upgrading school facilities, initiating agricultural programs and investing in community health.
WE PROTECT
We identify, monitor and protect vulnerable children from abuse. Adolescents are empowered through education to resist gender-based violence and protect themselves from HIV/AIDS.
