Support Children Orphaned by Aids in South Africa

Our aim for this campaign was to raise money to help vulnerable and orphaned children in South Africa. As a result of the generosity of our supporters, we have been able to care for orphaned children in the following ways:

• Offering emotional and physical support to children who have lost their parents and other family members;
• Safety and protection
• Warm and nutritious meals
• Material needs such as school uniforms, school shoes, stationery, and transport to and from school
• Supporting child-headed homes
• Healthcare, including the provision of anti-retroviral medication and monitoring, TB screening, deworming, monitoring for growth stunting, vitamins, vision, and dental care.
• HIV and gender-based violence education and prevention
• Operation of 25 preschools, keeping children safe, well-fed, and educated.

This campaign has raised $159,517 so far, and will remain active until we reach our goal of $170,000!

The money raised through this campaign since its inception in 2022, has enabled us to provide:

• 70,000 warm nutritious meals for the children
• 37,000 visits from our Wellness Wagon Health Program (mobile clinic)

These are crucial in promoting better health, regular school attendance, improved academic performance, and the overall well-being of our children.

We are continuously working to raise money through present and future campaigns in order to fulfill our mission and expand our impact on the lives of the children and their families.

We are exploring other avenues of fundraising including, but not limited to; digital campaigns, corporate partnerships, more fundraising events in other states and countries, and grant applications to secure the necessary funds for expanding our reach.

Starfish has helped over 300,000 children in 23 years, one child at a time!
