Challenge

More than half of South Africa's children live below the global poverty line, facing preventable health risks such as diarrhea, malnutrition, and tuberculosis (TB). Starfish aims to change this reality, and we need your help to make it happen. By contributing to our Wellness Program, you will provide essential healthcare to children who lack access to clinics or doctors, ensuring they have the opportunity to grow up to be healthy and strong.

Solution

Starfish's mission is to invest in the future of vulnerable children. Millions of South Africans die from preventable illnesses, and Starfish believes a community can only be as strong as its healthiest child. Our Wellness Program provides access to healthcare and nutrition by regularly visiting rural communities. This initiative offers children in impoverished areas healthcare, antiretroviral medication, HIV education, immunizations, TB and HIV testing, first aid, and more.

Long-Term Impact

Starfish is making a significant impact by partnering with communities nationwide, reaching over 17,000 children with our mobile clinics. For over 24 years, Starfish has been working with local community organizations to transform the lives of these children. We provide funding, skills development, and training to our local partners to ensure they have the capacity to deliver quality, holistic care, resulting in more children receiving immediate care and ongoing support that is sustainable.
