We empower young
people to dare to dream
Star for Life’s unique educational program is today available in 120 schools in Southern Africa. Through Star for Life’s well-trained coaches, learners become motivated and inspired to invest in their schooling, take care of their health and make conscious choices in order to influence their future.
Our Vision
A future in which young people are empowered to realise their dreams as responsible members of caring communities.
Our Mission
To inspire young people to value learning, acquire the knowledge and skills they need for productive work and live healthy and meaningful lives.
A child needs more than food to grow up
Every child needs support not only with food, healthcare and shelter, but in order to grow up as a self led, stable individual with strong values, self esteem and the will to have a positive impact on its surroundings, a child also needs to be given the tools and support to develop on both an emotional and psychological level.
These are the skills that Star for Life teaches young people – to get to know themselves, identify their dreams and work toward them, bearing through challenges on the way to reaching their goals. In order to reach all the way, staying healthy is of high priority.
Star for Life is a non-profit organisation founded in 2005 with the mission to inspire young people to believe in their dreams for the future and support them to live an AIDS-free life.
